I'm really not great at sticking with things...

So much for my posting more often. Oh, well.

So I turned 30. Ew. I never thought I'd be one of those people who got upset by aging, and I wouldn't care about the fact that my 20s are over if I at least had a job. Or a significant other. Or didn't still live with my parents. *sigh*.

Anyhoo, my birthday wasn't too bad. I had to go into work (I finally managed to get a casual position doing admin work - it's not steady or regular, but it's better than the last five years of absolutely nothing), and my co-workers were nice enough to make a fuss and get me a cake, which was kind of embarrassing, but sweet. Then my parents took me out for pizza for dinner, at a restaurant we hadn't tried before, but was nicer than I was expecting.

Thanks to colleendetroit for the cute cupcake on my profile page! *mwah*

Update on my dad's health: So he's decided to go the surgery route rather than radiation for his prostate cancer, except they can't get him in until late October (that's the flip side of universal health care - you don't have to pay, but you do have to wait). Meanwhile, he's also dealing with polymyalgia, osteoporosis, and just to make things super fun, emphysema from his 50+ year smoking habit! I could throttle him for this latest diagnosis, but he's already falling apart at the seams. He turns 69 (heh) next month - I've already told him I expect at least a good 20 years out of him yet.

On the plus side, after my mother's health ordeal earlier this year she seems to have made a full recovery and is back to her old self. She turned 60 last month, but you'd never know. She has ten times more energy than I do and maybe a total of ten grey hairs on her head. Crazy.
