Bittersweet

Tomorrow is my birthday which is bittersweet for me. I always liked my birthdays but not as much in the past few years. When I left wade the day after my birthday 2 years ago, I had a bad one with him. Last years I don't even remember. This one is a waste. I do not want to go to a nice restaurant. But the reality is, this might be my last birthday. I am not being negative, just realistic. I am cautiously optimistic every day. But I have been sad today. Somedays the reality of having cancer hits and you cry a lot. I sometimes wonder what I did to make god hate me so bad but I know that is not right. It just feels that way sometimes. And my religious friends, p,ease do not write me mountains if scripture or long rambling things. I am just venting here. I normally try not to get this deep and melancholy on the blog but this is the reality of where I am. I am feeling better but it is hard not to get a little depressed. I have fought it really hard. If i get negative sometimes it is reality, some friends can't handle it and have snapped at me. Fuck em. I never snapped at them when they said stupid shit.I just listened. And they didn't have stage 4 cancer.so I will be Pollyanna with them and vent on the blog. So tomorrow will be what it is. Will do something with my sister and mom. Then Leslie leaves...... She needs a break. I need a break..... Ok well that is about it. Had to get that out. I do feel better today, just having a moment. I was bad, I ate a varsity chili dog and it was great. It is the only thing I have craved in 2 months, and it made me really happy. I am taking tums now and I do jot care. :-)

  1. what is it about birthdays?! i get saddest about my mom on her birthday, which is coming up in a week, now that i think about it.... ugh. anyway, birthdays are all about YOU days, so good for you for eating a fucking varsity hot dog! even though the thought of it makes me want to puke (ha!), i am happy that you did this for yourself. sometimes it's the littlest things that mean the most.

  3. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! The Decemberists were fantatic. I sooooo wished you had gone with me. The seats were outrageous. I was 20 feet from the stage but it was not too loud which I hate. I thought of you and wished you had felt like coming. Shera, Heather and I toasted you and celebrated you birthday and Heather's (May 17) and mine (May 30) although I am going to start counting backwards from now on. It is okay to be sad sometimes but did you have to go and eat a Varsity chili dog - that is just nasty, but I bet it was good. What? No onion rings?
