Hippo Birthday!

Today is my birthday. I am now 56. When I woke up this morning I said a prayer to God that it be an OK day ( because I hardly ever have a good day although I actually did the other day so I thought that might be too much to ask) or at least that it not be shitty but it already started off shitty; my back now hurts even worse; like it did right in the beginning and I wince and scream whenever I move or change position and it brings tears to my eyes and I tried to upload a photo I took this morning of the gift I got from my hubby too( the hippo socks shown below with the writing on the feet you can see when I sit down and put my feet up; it was on my Amazon Wish List so I guess sometimes he does pay attention) but I couldn't upload it onto my computer; it kept saying no file....f*ck that(I even had a mini autistic "meltdown" other people mistake for a "tantrum") so I had to reboot it( which I absolutely hate  doing as it takes sooooo long and I have to wait, something I utterly loathe and despise and even then it still didn't work right away and I was frustrated and mad and fed-up nothing ever goes right for me and I can never catch a break, not even today on my birthday. At least I did get lots of love and well-wishes from my Facebook friends though, and it's sort of sad though that friends from decades ago and others I've met along the way care even more about me than my own family does.

My mother also got me chocolates and my hubby is going to pick up my cake at Noon during his lunch break but hopefully not too late(like after work) as we have a freezing rain warning  with ice pellets and all that "fun" stuff and it's been so mild lately I even sleep with my bedroom window open( in January if you can believe it; I know!) and today is just like any other normal usual day, no big deal, and likely the worst day( being the day I was born) for both myself and  my family. I also wanted my hubby to download the movie Empire Of Light  I'd hoped to watch today too but it's not out yet even though I'd heard it was supposed to be released in late December and I figured too that most people are like nouns in French; masculine or feminine but the trans folks are more like nouns in German or Russian; masculine, feminine, and neutral.
