happy belated birthday to me
[celebrate]
It was my birthday last Friday! It was a quiet birthday, just dinner with Y, sunshine and Brucebruce at the old standby, John's Italian Cafe. Unlike previous years, I was not sick. But unlike previous years, Y was very busy and went off to Ottawa for a few days for work, so he didn't get a chance to get me and K-chan (who's birthday was also on Saturday) a birthday cake. K-chan and beingboring (who's birthday was on the previous Tuesday) couldn't make it to the impromptu dinner on Friday, too.
But it was a lovely birthday, low key and quiet. Just like the blog, the past few months.
Now where to begin? Or not? There have been some changes since my love may be invisible. And it has been invisible, my love for the blog. I needed a break, since it seemed then that things needed to change.
I'm at a new job, away from the old craziness, having started on Dec. 31, which I explained to one of the managers that it was both the end and the beginning. I miss my old team terribly, but not the people who made me realize that they were never going to support me in the way I wanted to be supported. My old teammates and other workmates, however, were the most supportive people I've met. It's like leaving a family, and that, that I feel sad about.
But now, I'm off on a new journey, not just work, but a whole new journey. It may not seem like much for people looking in, they might just see me, and see not much change at all. But there is. My senses are still afire, and I feel like my spirit is soaring some days. I look forward to moving forward. And I look forward to sharing that all with you.
My birthday weekend was the best birthday in the longest time. I got the best birthday present ever. I hope there are more celebrations to come.
