Yesterday, I wrote the date down several times. I plugged it into the work computer and looked at schedules, and planned my day. And each time, something nagged – I was forgetting something. Something important. Someone was gonna be PISSED if I didn’t pull my head out of my Inventory Prep Exhausted Ass and figure out wtf was going on…<\/p>\n
It took about an hour, and then?<\/p>\n
Kevin’s Birthday. Yesterday was his birthday. He would have been 39 – and dreading the big 40, while simultaneously planning a big ass kegger for it too. And I”d almost forgotten.<\/p>\n
Part of me felt guilty, but I’m not afraid to admit part of me felt sort of relieved too. It’s a mark of healing, I’m sure, a mark of ‘I’m Ok, really’ even if I didn’t need such a mark. It certainly did explain why yesterday was a bit offkilter, a little uneasy, a little frustrating, and a lot of fun at the same time. Because that’s how life with Kevin was oftentimes too. <\/p>\n
Somewhere, though, he’s laughing his ass off at me. Through our lives together he only had to remember two dates – our anniversary and my birthday (which he always mixed up with Valentine’s Day anyway. *L*). All other Important Dates belonged to my memory banks. That I forgot – even if only for a couple hours – I’m sure is amusing him greatly. <\/p>\n
I blame my age.
\nHe would too.
