So, it's sort of my birthday.
For another three hours, at any rate. 28 is so much closer to thirty.
Had a pretty typical day, though Jen was quick to hand off hugs and a mug full of presents. I'd been eyeing up a freshwater pearl jewellery set, but had passed it over because of the price. Jen totally surprised me with it! The ring, necklace and the earrings. It's gorgeous... I love pearls.
Got into a bit of an argument with my lead on a procedure that I'm pretty surprised she didn't write me up for. But there's only five months left til I'm gone, anyway, so maybe she didn't figure it was worth the effort.
My bio-dad called in the middle of the day. That was a surreal conversation, but his birthday was only two days ago, so it's pretty hard for him to forget mine. He wants me to come visit him this summer, and he's willing to pay the cost of the flight, so I figure why not? I've never been further from here than like, Toronto. Or, no, I think my friend's place in Montreal might have been further. It'd be neat to visit Vancouver, and he's talking about making the trek over the Rockies to visit Mike in Alberta. That'd be more of the country than I've ever seen before, which is a sad state of affairs really.
I splurged and bought myself a PlayStation 3. I've been playing The Last of Us pretty much none stop. It's so good. So good. Though, I've gotten a little stuck, the plant-zombie-things keep eating my face off. I'm not very good at sneaking. When Liz comes over next we're gonna sit and play Beyond: Two Souls.
Heading out to mom and dad's tomorrow night to celebrate Mother's Day and also to get away from here for a bit. It's not that I mind it or anything, but I'd gotten used to being on my own and suddenly there's a butt-load of people in the house. Jen, Mike, Kyle, Sofia and myself, plus Jen's dog Hagrid. That's quite the number when you take into account it's only a small two bedroom.
So, that's me. Another year older. It's so weird.
