Can it be another round?

Job, as always, your posts make so much sense. Ironically, H’s text was the only one I received today. Everyone else thought that they already wished me happy b-day yesterday, which is fine. I kind of wanted to lay low today anyway. My GF from another state sent me an e-mail with b-day wishes. The person who surprised me again was my BIL (H’s brother who lives here). I came home from work and found a card from him in my mail box. With a gift certificate to a spa! It is so nice of him. I didn’t expect this. I thought that he might send a card, but not a gift certificate.

Yes, I did have expectations regarding H. And I completely agree that the cards are overrated. But, for the last couple of years he sent a card and also called me on the phone. I realized that these previous b-days were on the weekend. Today was a work day and he probably didn’t think that I would pick up the phone anyway. He could have left a message though… As for the cards, I suspect that he also stopped sending them to his relatives and friends after he joined the FB. Now he can just communicate on FB.

OK, I think I had enough of analyzing. At the end of the day… he did remember my B-day and sent a text, and even made an excuse for not sending a card.

And, I think a couple of my coworkers forgot about my b-day today, and I’m glad they did. I didn’t want any attention today. So, I’m enjoying a quiet evening with a glass of wine.

Tomorrow, I have a happy hour with a few people from work. Life is good!
