Another One Bites the Dust

My birthday, in list:

• I set my alarm to wake up early - very painful for night-person me
  
• I soon realized that I had started my period, and not painlessly
  
• I went to the dentist
  
• As always, it sucked
  
• I learned that I have a cavity that needs to be filled
  
• I got to go to Bible study, but had to leave very early
  
• I had to take Ellie to the doctor for the third time in a week
  
• I hit a pole in (tiny, unlit, under-building) parking lot as I tried to leave (my first time ever hitting anything with a car)
  
• Ellie was tired and irritable all afternoon
  
• I have a headache
  
• I had a great time at dinner with 10 girlfriends, none of whom remembered that it is my birthday (and I didn't remind them)
  
• I got pulled over in a stupid speedtrap on the way home

It all could have been a lot worse. Ellie isn't really sick. The car was barely scratched in its encounter with the cement pillar. I just got a warning from the cop. There are clean sheets on the bed.

Good night.
