It& #39;s time for some truth. For the most part, #quarantinelife doesn& #39;t bother me. I have always wanted to work from home full time. I love not having that damn commute. It frees up so much of my time.
That said, work since quarantine began has been tough. I have tried not to complain, because I know how lucky, blessed, whatever, I am, & I don& #39;t want to hurt other people who have had it much, much worse, but it& #39;s been tough.
On top of that, being the drama queen that I am, as today approached, I got pretty sad. You see, when I talk about my squad, & post Fast & Furious gifs or songs or whatever? I& #39;m not kidding. I have a group of friends that matter very much to me, & an extended Twitter family too.
The thing is, we don& #39;t get to see each other in the flesh that often, if ever. 7 Jaguars games a year, maybe a few other get togethers, but that& #39;s about it. It doesn& #39;t change how much they mean to me, it just is what it is.
That& #39;s why I& #39;ve made such a big deal about my birthday for the last 6 years. To get as many of you into one place as possible, because I love seeing you, & because I know that smaller squad won& #39;t miss it, & they don& #39;t. We& #39;re always together today.
Sometimes there& #39;s drama, sometimes there& #39;s not, sometimes there& #39;s Carmine& #39;s, there& #39;s ALWAYS alcohol, but we get together, & it makes my heart so happy. As this year got closer, I got into a dark mood, because I knew we weren& #39;t going to.

This morning I woke up & felt ashamed for that. I& #39;ve got so much to be grateful for in life, my family, my situation, all of you, that it just felt stupid to be upset because we won& #39;t see each other this year on my birthday.
