It was good.
Friday was my birthday.
It was very very good; it was filled with a short work day, rock-climbing, and time with my closest friends involving good food, cupcakes, music and tea. A far cry from what I was envisioning and dreading even a few weeks ago.
Yesterday was a continuation of the goodness - a visit from another close friend, and a borderline normal dinner with the family (after initial chaos and drama re: navigation systems and driving).
Even a group of racist Czechoslovakians at the next table in the restaurant didn’t bring us down - nope. They were making comments about Polish people being “strong but stupid” to their hibachi chef. After a few withering glances from us and our speaking Polish to one another at just-slightly-louder-than-necessary-levels, they pretty much shut their yaps.
Here’s a photo of me hamming it up for the camera a bit on Friday, displaying the rings my friends gave me for my birthday. I am attempting to convey a sort of, “Hey - look at the sparkly - don’t look at me!” message. Unfortunately, my nose and eyes are in sharper focus - not the sparkly. But it’s OK; FAR worse photos of me exist and in the grand scheme of things, this one is OK.
My little sister has a photo of me with cocktail umbrellas stuck behind my ears (from yesterday) and I think it came out pretty well. I’ll have to get that from her for addition to my collection.
