What was happening on my Birthday ???

Let's continue to talk about what was happening on my Birthday? Well.. it was my day off so, I got up at 7:00 am and cooked " Mieng Pla Too " or " Deep Fried Mackerel with noodle, fresh vegetable and Thai house dressing" for breakfast. The result? I got so sick! I felt very nausea and dizzy after I ate it, but I had to go see Dr. Bell for a regular check-up so, I had to drag myself to his office. After 40 minutes of waiting, I finally got a chance to see him. I found out that the baby is now dropped and Everything is normal. I have an appointment with him again next week.

When I got home, I went straight to the restroom and threw up everything that I ate for breakfast! It was so nasty! I was not sure whether or not the cause of my sickness was due to the bad food or else. I just bought 2 packs of frozen mackerel from an Asian grocery on Friday and made " Mieng Pla Too" out of it. I suspected that the fish was not fresh. Anyway, I took medicine and went to bed around 11:00 AM Micah had given me a massage until I fell asleep. I got up again around 5:00 PM when Dave got home. He asked if I felt well enough to go out for dinner, but I didn't feel like it so I told him to order food from Ronnie Restaurant instead.

I woke up at 11PM and was so hungry. I had a BBQ shortrib with rice and miso soup, food that Dave ordered from the restaurant. After I finished, Dave and Micah had my Birthday cake out. The cake was from my favorite bakery shop in town. Dave got me a candle holder as a gift and Micah made me a handmade picture of our family and a birthday certificate ( I don't know why he made me a B'day certificate, but I think it is kind of cute that he has an idea that every b'day person should receive a b'day certificate). Dave and Micah sang me a Happy Birth Day song then I made a birthday wishes and blew out the candles. We sat and eat cake together then I had to take off to work.

That was pretty much what was going on on my B'day. Oh, I also received a card from grandma Odle, a B'day e-mail from my mother- in -law and also an e-mail from my old friend, Ole. That was it. I was bummed out because I supposed to get a massage at ICE SPA , but the plan was cancelled due to my sickness!

Every year, on my b'day I thought about my mom and dad, but it often make me sad because both of them have not involved with my life. I know without them I would not be born. I just can't help that sometime I feel like I am an orphan. The only relatives I have is my grandma/grandpa, my aunt and my cousin Abb. I promise to myself that I will never make my children feel like this. Anyway, when I feel sorry for myself I have to ask God to help me cope with it. It's not easy b/c many times it hurts and when it hurts so much it make me mad. I try not to let anger turn into hate, but again I have found it very difficult...

Anyhow,I am now looking forward to get a massage from ICE SPA. Again, I will post how does it go once I receive the service.
