I'm sorry for disappearing.

I'm sorry for disappearing. I received a lot of birthday wishes, which I greatly appreciate and will respond to shortly. I've spent the last few days (birthday included) dealing with another depressive slump, but today feels better.

I spent most of my birthday on the couch being a lump with my dogs. Shaun scraped me up and took me to Olive Garden. We had a big dinner and I got a free piece of Tiramisu, which was delicious. The kids got me a card that they heavily customized and it is perfect. Spending time with my family was the highlight of my day.

I'm not sure why I've felt so down recently. Probably stress. I feel kind of like a failure for doing so poorly in school this semester. I'm just so damn tired. I'll be grateful for the time in my life when I no longer have homework.

Anyway, love to all of my friends. I hope you're all doing well. 🧡
