34

Monday was my 34th birthday. It was a very subdued birthday for me this year. I think that was partly due to sleep depravation. I went out with my coworkers after work Sunday night and didn’t get home until almost three. I was unable to sleep in and so I just muddled through the day.

The only thing I really wanted for my birthday this year was to go out to a nice restaurant with just my husband and have a nice relaxed, guilt free dinner, This is not something that is usually in our budget, so it was a special treat. I have to say he came on through for me. We went to Mirabelle, which offers a wonderful wine list and top-notch food in reasonable portions. We also had excellent service, and their atmosphere was very comfortable and cozy.

I received phone calls from distant friends and family, as well as, some cards and packages that made me feel very loved. However, my best birthday present was a brief telephone interview and the setup of a true interview on Thursday. This is all due to the contact I made. He hasn’t even seen a resume from me yet. I figure even if the job doesn’t turn out to be the right thing for me (although I think it will) it’s given me some deadlines and focus to get things organized.

I need to finish my resume. Plus I’ll feel better if I learn more about what this job usually entails and about the company they are affiliated with. I also need to do another mall run for myself this time. Tomorrow is going to be a very busy day.
