During the 1st week of March my girlfriend celebrated her birthday at a neighborhood bar called Schubbas in LakeView. I normally don't go out in the middle of the week, but I figured it wouldn't be too bad if I went and caught up with my friends. I really didn't drink much that night. I practically babysat my cranberry & vodka. The birthday girl was planning on moving to California in May and she really wanted to see everyone for one last birthday fling. We had some laughs. I was glad to have a moment where I didn't think so much on what was happening with my mom. I needed this little getaway, even though people noticed I wasn't very talkative. I just needed to hear how everyone else was doing. I was excited for my friend. She was very hopeful that things were going out for her in California. She was getting tired of the cold weather here in Chicago. Me? I really haven't noticed...

The following Friday my girlfriend invited me to another birthday party. She called me up hysterical as well. She saw a mouse in her apartment and ran right out the door. Looking back, I felt bad for her because she was really shaken up. We went to her friend's party and stayed out all night. I was babysitting my drink again. Didn't feel so sociable, but again, felt better than staying home moping. Sometimes real life drama is better than what's on tv. This was a nice place too. A tapas restaurant called Bulerias also in LakeView. My girlfriend stayed the night. It was nice having company for a change.
