Originally, J was supposed to come home tonight because tomorrow is my birthday. But after speaking with him on the phone last night, it turns out he has a lot more things to take care of including arranging the funeral. I told J it makes no sense for him to rush back just because it's my birthday since i know his mind will be elsewhere.
And knowing that his mother, who had admitted herself into hospital since the incident, is finally checking herself out today, i know J wants to just make sure everything is taken care of before he does finally leave including finding a suitable service apartment for her to stay at.
And so he's decided to stay on until the end of this week.
Sensing that i was disappointed, J suggested that i take the train to Hannover, a neighboring city from where his parents' place is and meet up for my birthday. Then later drive to his grandmothers' place [where he's staying the nights at] and i would stay over.
But after checking my bank account, i soon realised my bank balance didn't support the idea. With an upcoming German course and a reoccuring monthly health insurance to pay, there's no extra money for any random getaways.
I later found out that J had planned to take next week off too and that he wanted to surprise me by taking me to Rome or somewhere.
But i ruined his plan when i asked him who was going to take care of the kitties and i informed him of our financial situation.
Yup, he forgot about Luna and Yoshi.

Oh well, at least he had good intentions.
But it looks like he's canceling his leave next week because i told him there's no point in using up most of his leave when it's only March.
So i guess the decision has been made. I'll be spending my thirty-first birthday all alone tomorrow.
*sad face*
Oh well. That's life, i guess.
So anyway, i've checked my weather widget and the weather, for once, looks promising this week. I think Tuesday will be the warmest we've had in months.
I thought of going to a museum or an exhibition but i'm trying my best to refrain from spending money unnecessarily. In fear that i may want to go shopping and buy random items. Unless of course it has to do with food, then there's no point in starving myself. I just have to be price conscious. Currently, i still have enough food to last me a few days, so i'm making the most of what we have.
However, i have decided i will buy myself my own birthday cake [or slice].
J has agreed to have a Skype date with me tomorrow, that way he can sing me happy birthday and i won't be such a sad case singing the song and blowing out my candle by myself.
So until my client pays me, it doesn't look like i'll be spending any money anytime soon.
But there's no harm in window shopping, right?

I'm really sorry for you and I hope that your birthday will be not that bad in the end! But I bet that your boyfriend will catch up on a nice present/surprise when you will see each other again :)
Thanks Sharon. I guess at the end of the day shit happens & proof that we're not always in control of how things go.
I guess that means i have to make the most of my day tomorrow.
