Happy Birthday? It's a Long Story.

06-07-08. My birthday. And a memorable one it was too. 'Pup bought me a cookie cake. It was one of the highlights of the day. Thank you 'Pup.

The day was ........interesting, annoying, infuriating, exhausting and had some good parts here and there.

The events of the day included:

1. leaving for work at 9 am.
2. getting and having one bite of a sausage, egg and cheese kolache. (this is an important detail, keep it in mind)
3. A van in the shop
4. new glasses for 'Pup and I
5. a car backing into me in a parking lot (seriously, I was stopped behind something and couldn't move on, and someone backed in to me!)
6. A mall security guard telling me that I SHOULD DRIVE MORE CAREFULLY (see #5)
7. a rude (hideously rude) couple of employees of a place called Thirsty's in Memorial City Mall...more about that at length, later.
8 a search (in vain) for the mall management office
9. a four page, front and back complaint letter, written by me. (see #6)
10. me deciding that the satisfaction of going over the counter and wrecking havoc with my cane wasn't worth it--so I didn't, but it came close.
11. a kindness at a cookie store
12. a balloon heart and kitty.
13. the wrong steak, overcooked.
14. finally getting home at 11:30 or so.

I'll explain later. I'm tired.

Happy Birthday to me.
