Great

I just found out my parents are leaving for a week on Saturday, my birthday. I was looking forward to hanging out with them that evening so I at least had someone to celebrate it with, but now I'm going to be alone.

You would think that would make me happy. But no.

Struggling to contain tears at work. And for the rest of the evening, I may not be able to cry until I go to bed.

My mom is compensating by getting a cake and throwing me an impromptu bash tonight. Hope I don't cry then either.
