Happy birthday, indeed.

Today is my birthday. What have I gotten for myself? A $500 car repair bill and a throbbing migraine. It'll be hard to top this next year.

I can remember when my birthday was relaxing; full of cake and ice cream and brightly coloured boxes. Now it's full of long days at work, half-finished projects, and brightly coloured cups of coffee. I used to look forward to my birthday; now I look forward to it in much the same way I look forward to a dental appointment.

*Sigh*

Sometimes, I really miss being a kid.
