Next Birthday, I'm Just Gonna Hide....
It seems quite often that around my birthday, something majorly craptastic happens and I can't enjoy what is supposed to be a special day.
In '94, my fiance of 6 years moved across the country without even saying goodbye. I sat in a trance for almost 3 days then hauled myself back to college where - lo and behold - I met my alcoholic hubby to be.
In '03, the day before my birthday my now ex served me with divorce papers. Nice timing.
Today, my ex called to tell me he got laid off from his temporary job and tomorrow (my birthday) we would have to talk about finances and child support. I was just saying to myself today that next month I should start getting a little more money and things would be a bit easier. (BTW, they cut me back to 3 shifts@ week at work again).
Not 10 seconds after he called, my mom called to say she has pancreatitis and was in the ER but went home in a huff when one of the nurses got "snotty" with her. Grandson, grand-daughter in law and their 2 kids moved in with her in her trailer 'cause they got nowhere else to go. Never clean up, wash dishes, help her out, nothing. Professional martyrdom (some issues are legit but most are fabricated); went on and on. "Don't know how I can stand much more. Just ought to give up. Don't want to carry on. Oh, happy birthday by the way."
Grrrr. Grrrr. GRRRR.
Yes, I am whining. And I realize that as issues go here on SR, this is pretty minor. But, dammit.....

Oh I got the same bad birthday mojo, honey! I feel your pain. I have even tried to find out if you can officially change your birthday because a few years ago so much dismal stuff happened, I thought it was best to throw in the towel.
Maybe we could start a better birthday movement for all those afflicted with the problem. You could chose a better day that works for you. I'd go for a leap year date so I could argue that I'm younger than I really am.
I'm so sorry you're going through this. Once your birthday passes your mojo ought to improve, it usually happens that way for me.
