I've been scared that I'll be sick for my birthday. In the last seven years, I've been sick twice on my birthday. When I turned 40, I had pneumothorax, and in 2022, I had coronavirus. And what's so great about this time? The endometriosis pain started a week ago. My birthday is now at a bad time, both in terms of health and weather. There's a thunderstorm and heavy rain expected today. And yet I'd like to go out to party.
I was a big F1 fan in my teens, and at that time the drivers used Moët & Chandon to spray champagne. Ever since then I've wanted to try that brand of champagne. I thought it wouldn't be possible for me because of the too high price and sugar content. But then I found out that the brand also sells smaller bottles, and even a low-sugar version. The smallest bottle isn't available here, but the second smallest (0.375 l) is. 33.58 euros.
I'm afraid that sparkling wine will make me feel sick (again). But I still have to drink it, from morning on.
In recent years, I've played my favorite game Friday the 13th: The Game for my birthday. That game is basically dead now, but in practice it's still possible to play it on PC and Playstation. Even though I've already downloaded the Resurrected mod for that game on my computer, it'll still have to wait.
I've been thinking about watching some concerts, like NKOTBSB's London concert in 2012, it's already been 13 years?!
So I want to go out to eat and drink. The last time I went out for my birthday was in the summer of 2020, when I was exceptionally able to eat at Wanha Satama when there was no Wine Festival. Now I can't.
Storm
I've been following the weather forecast diligently, it's been quite a roller coaster. Example: one day, according to the forecast, this day would have been the warmest in a 10-day period, and a couple of hours later the forecast had changed completely to the opposite, meaning this would be the coldest day of the week. So it was worth stressing about the weather forecast for 15 days. Then on Monday I was told that there would be a storm in Finland today! When I want to go somewhere for the first time in five years, this is what happens.
We'll see how badly I'll freeze. How badly my feet freeze. And I definitely want to put on my silk dress. And that's a problem if it rains because silk doesn't withstand water. Maybe it will melt off in the rain? Was that dress actually on me then in the summer of 2020? Anyway, the last time I used it, it had a stain that looked like a drop of water, but it didn't go away with time. Now that I've checked the dress many times, I just haven't been able to find the stain. I wonder if I'll find it when I put it on.
There are exactly two shoe options. I'd really like to wear peep-toes, but is it too cold? Of course, closed-toe heels warm the feet (calves) much more. If only the heels wouldn't affect me like they did last time. The prognosis is pretty bad because my feet have been affected by other things now, burning pains + joint pains.
The forecast is pretty bad if I go out partying in cold stormy weather while feeling unwell. The backup plan is of course to stay home, order some food, and play some game while drunk.
