@Nephila: Thank you! I want to just ignore my birthday, but my husband is notorious for having amazing birthdays so I get jealous. He celebrates all week and the day of goes full party mode. I want that kind of energy in my day too lol
@LilMissKushy: and of course @Totalanimefan: Birthday buddies! Cancers and Leos unite! My mother has a birthday this month, too. Four days before mine lol Maybe I should just celebrate hers extra hard instead.

My birthday is on the 24th, and I'm dreading it. I'm pretty sure it is a cursed day. I usually have a range of lame to traumatic events on or around my birthday. I don't mind that I'm about to be 36 but I do mind not having a fun or joyous or even blandly normal day.
Just some of the things I've been through: When I was a teen, my horrible grandma took me to the ren fair only to ditch me and hang out with one of her married boyfriends. It proceeded to rain on me for hours. In my 20's, a former friend my husband and I financially supported for years invited me to go shopping at the mall, but instead of spending time or money on me, he bought a ton of gifts for our mutual co-worker he invited... when I told him I was hurt by this, he did not even apologize, he just said that was my fault for expecting anything. Last year my husband and I planned on going out to dinner, but my job decided they could not pay me on time so our plans fell through... the next day I found out I had a miscarriage. A lot of other things have happened that were less traumatizing, but thats about par for my special day.
My husband still thinks we should plan something fun to chase away the bad luck, but I kind of want to pretend its just another day. I've got my new baby, so I'd rather spend time with her and ignore the world.

Having everything packed before you move is such a big deal! I've only ever known one other person who managed that.

With a new baby I can definitely relate. I've been getting maybe four hours of sleep a night if I'm lucky...
Don't feel bad about rejections... its usually less about your qualifications and more about who got there first. I've had REALLY good resumes for the places I've applied and gotten rejected. I even had a place or two tell me I was too qualified to work there. Timing and who you know are helpful, but applying for jobs is largely a crap shoot. My process was to blanket apply for places, five or six a day.. I'd call them all to check up in a weeks time (or less if I was eager) and it still took me months to find a job each time I was unemployed. (I was raised on the notion that calling them was how you showed you really wanted the job, but I read a long reddit post where younger folks were saying this actually hurt their chances of being hired these days, so my oldschool techniques might have been holding me back...)
