Thank you all for the birthday wishes!

I had a great, weird day with my mom. Highlights include:

• Having my ingrown toenails attacked by a nice doctor (cried at the needles, and then went "ooo!" over the painless gore.)


• Watching my mom decorate adorable pastries for a financial event.


• Drinking my first legal drink and spluttering and making a disgusted face (managed six big sips), got tipsy, laughed at by my mother, laughed with my mother, and felt buoyant.


• Amused waitress giving me the drink on the house, and bringing out our dessert pizza with a candle in it.


• Taking a nap in the parking lot with my tipsy mother.


• Staggering around the Walmart looking for reflector screens among the shrieks of the damned.


• Having an awkward phone call with my father that was nice but also sad.


• Eating birthday cake for dinner.


• Delaying my road trip by a day because my toes hurt too much.


• Talking with my boyfriend and planning my visit later this week to meet his family and possibly watch Guardians of the Galaxy again.

So, very strange day. Ultimately, I had fun, enjoyed it, and am pleased with how things worked out. I'm annoyed I have to delay my trip by a day but it's for the best, my toes need to rest up and stop bleeding, and I could use the extra day to relax, keep my feet up, do some last minute rearranging of my stuff, and maybe get some fanfic writing in before deadlines eat me.

Thank you all for your kind words and messages of support. This month has been stressful and very busy for me, knowing my friends are out there really does help. My 21st birthday is almost over, and I feel good.
