I just had a Birthday on the 19th. Unlike every uneventful birthday before, I was bound and determined to make this feel like a real event filled birthday. You know, a real birthday, where you invite all your elementary school friends to the pizza parlor and sit there by yourself, while nobody shows up. Well, instead of risking that sort of an evening, being as I have practically zero contact with anybody these days, due to hermit/loner/nomad status, I just was gonna wing into some solo activities. Nothing says "nobody can screw this up" like some activities all by yourself.
So there I was rolling into Tuesday morning, ramped up, excited, it was my birthday, and I was gonna do everything I wanted to, given a knee injury that at the moment has me limited to a few ranges of activities. First things first. I woke up, went down stairs and spied by guitars sitting against my amp. So what did I do? Of course I played the most rocking version of Happy Birthday to Me!!! I was a most excellent song. I wish you could have been there. Then, since I didn't get to partake in weekend movie release activities, I decided to save it for my Birthday. And low and behold there I was seeing Ghostbusters 3D at 1pm. My mom didn't really want to go, so I was able to talk someone out of doing house chores to go to the movies with me. I got a hotdog, and popcorn, and a giant soda. And then it was like every trip to a movie theater for me, where I end up screaming and swearing and laughing aloud at all the action. And holy crap 3D was excellent. I really enjoyed that movie. That went for a good long time and I didn't get home until about 4 something. This was time to ice and elevate my knee, and respond to birthday messages on the dreaded FB.
For an early dinner Me, Mom and Dad all went to this new BBQ joint for dinner. I ordered a giant serving of Beef Brisket, take notes, which is my favorite food in the entire world, cause it is so damn good. Then right after we cleaned our trays, we rolled on up the hill to Twain Harte Mini Golf, where we putted the entire course, of course. That was tons of fun. Because if you didn't know I love Mini Golf! And naturally I got a sweet 'Twain Harte Miniature Golf' hat to commemorate my birthday experience. Then we headed down the hill to wrap up the day with some classic Baskin Robbins 31 flavors. I went out on a limb and instead of getting my Daiquiri Ice, I got Mint Chip.
Part 5: It wasn't until about 1am, that I ran to the bathroom to, well, guess what, Food poisoning, and all the little joys that go with that. The next morning, I'd verified with everyone who'd eaten at the BBQ place how they were feeling the next day. Everyone ate all the same stuff, and felt fine. So then, I was like "I had that hotdog for lunch at the Theater." My body was all achy and I had chills, a slight fever, and I hadn't eaten or barely drinken a thing all day. In fact I basically tried to just sleep it off, and good thing my mom was there, cause moms make the best nurses, fact. Thursday was a total "lets try easy foods, and get rehydrated." That proved to be the trick. Because I was feeling fine by the evening, and I had a bean burrito for dinner. Friday morning is where I am right now, packing for NYC and sharing this so I'm not holding onto it.
Now, I usually like to have what I call a "Birthday week," but not in the sense that I spend most of it recovering from food poisoning. So there you have it. My hilarious birthday. I found it to be hilarious at least. Come on you can all laugh with me, cause I sure am. Good thing too, cause was not looking forward to rescheduling this flight. And photos are always the hardest thing for me to upload, since I rarely have my phone and computer synched. So here ya have my classic "photos coming later."
Alright y'all, have fun, and don't eat the hotdogs at the theater. hahaha
See ya on the Road. p.s. Let's hope my leg holds up for a cross country trip. That just reminded me to wear my leg brace for the trip.
