May 6, 2018 Day 215
Today I turn 28 years old. How the time flies by without one really knowing or should I say realizing. I am almost to 30 and almost half my life is over, depending of course on how long I live. I always find birthdays somewhat odd for I never really feel older; it is just another day going by in my opinion.
After Jason had already gone to work and I had slept in a bit more than usual I got up in a chipper mood. As birthday music blasted through a bluetooth speaker I made myself a breakfast of bacon, eggs and mixed vegetable that included: red bell peppers, onions and mushrooms. The day outside was gloomy with rain threatening every minute that went by. After eating I began watching episodes of Lucifer when my older brother called me to wish me a happy birthday. He was currently in Boston, Massachusetts looking at a semi truck for his job. I told him and his wife that they should check out some whale watching and do the Freedom Trail for those were things on my list to see when I get there myself.
When we hung up I decided to drive the 30 minutes into town to buy myself some wine and ice cream. By now it was pouring rain outside and as I was putting on a jacket I remembered that I needed to install a headlight in my vehicle. So I stood in the pouring rain for about ten minutes trying to open up the area that contains the bulb. After I finally got it open with my wet hands and installed the light I sat in my vehicle soaking my seat with all the water that was pouring off of me. The drive itself was not bad and as I pulled into Walmart my grandma Hoefferle called me to wish me a happy birthday. I was in a good mood when I hung up with her until I went to go checkout and found out that apparently in West Virginia one can not purchase alcohol on Sunday until 13:00! This I find to be completely insane and stupid. Needless to say that instantly put me in a foul mood since that is the only reason I drove all the way into town. As I walked glumly back to my vehicle my mom called me. I tried to be happy but I was just upset and sad now at being alone. In either case, we talked for some time as I sat in my vehicle in the pouring rain in the Walmart parking lot.
Back at Jason's house I talked to some more people and once the rain stopped and the sun came out I went and laid out in the hammock. Jason was able to get off of work somewhat early which was nice so he got back at around 19:00. Upon which we ate pasta and watched a TV show before we both decided to call it a night. I was not even close to being tired but there was nothing else to do so I just went to bed too.
