Kelly: I've never been a "roll out the red carpet because it is my birthday" kind of gal, but I really wasn't into my birthday this year...at all. I didn't even see it coming. We have been so busy just trying to put one foot in front of the other that I didn't even feel the anticipatory excitement building. I told Matt that I wanted to postpone the acknowledgement of the day until the weekend. So, he obeyed. He got me a nice card, ice cream, and a foot rub :)
I didn't expect the change to be this tiring. I was in bed at 8:30 last night...on my birthday...after way too much chocolate ice cream.New job, new county, new house, new language, new rules and customs, no friends, less income (Matt alternating between freaking out about our financial situation and reassuring us both that we won't be eating gluten-free Ramen noodles for the remainder of our stay in Germany)...objectively I can see that these things would be stressful to any mortal, but somehow, when applied to myself, I didn't think that it would be so consuming. I've decided that I need to start doing more of my own things. So, last night I cooked. I really haven't cooked much since we arrived. I made amazing vegetarian chili YUM! We ate it again for dinner tonight. So good! I'm going to get back into yoga, too...as much as my bum hamstring will allow.
Tonight, Matt and I are going to go for a walk around town and then watch a movie...good stuff.
