26

[danaeris]

Today I'm 26.

Today I got what may be the first card I've ever gotten from my parents that made me feel ... well, anything.

Usually they seem to wind up with very generic cards, or funny cards. Likely spoken from their hearts, with all the right sentiments, but nonetheless, generic.

What they sent me today was a Hallmark ecard. The card is animated, and it contained messages like, "Be yourself," "Trust your gut," "Be sassy," "Be unique," etc. It stressed individuality and independence and positive aggressive behaviour. It resonated. You can see it here, but you'll have to skip the ad.

Anyway. Good morning all! I'm back at work, and only mildly nauseous. Still unclear what the mysterious nausea is, but if it persists, I will probably start doing experiments with the food I eat to see what kind of impact that has.

Yay for ten hour work days on your birthday!

Let's try that again...

That was a great card for you! Perhaps you are making ground with your parents, perhaps they are now beginning to respect you for who you are and not what they wish you could be.

That kinda unconditional love is hard to give and hard to find but is the best love one can ever receive IMO.

Happy Birthday sweet.

Happy B-day,
as a special present, I will not sing (and besides, I already gave you my most amusing version of the song at one of your previous birthday events).

May this year be a good one.

Congratulations on both the birthday and the lovely card from your parents. I watched it, it is quite nifty, and very you.

Happy birthday.

I hope the vague nausea clears up -- I've had some problems with that in the last year or two, and it's always been so frustrating because there's been no explanation of the cause.
