My Birthday Is The Happiest Day Of 2019 To Date

I celebrated my birthday on Sat Aug 3 myself. There were no special activities. I didn't give myself a gift. I celebrated with no family and no friends. Sat Aug 3 was the first day I felt good in 2019. I felt optimistic. Life was good. The best days are coming soon. All my current problems are solved soon. New opportunities are coming soon with favorable outcomes. Nothing doesn't last forever.

However, there was a family activity planned weeks in advanced coincidently on Sat Aug 3. My dad, brother, nephew, niece, and I attend an Oakland A's vs. St. Louis Cardinals baseball game at the Oakland Coliseum. The baseball game was good. The A's defeated the Cardinals 8-3. Watching the game reminded me baseball is a favorite hobby. Baseball is a take a break from life temporarily relieving pain. Baseball is a distraction. Baseball is a social activity bringing people together. More people forget why baseball is a national pastime. The baseball game was good timing I watched on my birthday.

Full Disclosure Fri Aug 2

Fri Aug 2 was another day of bad luck, bad timing, and "are you kidding me" reactions. I have been experiencing bad luck, bad timing, and "are you kidding me" reactions too many times since May 2015. There have been fewer bad luck, bad timing, and "are you kidding me" reaction days in 2019 compared to 2018. The reason is I stay home more days. I have fewer reasons to leave the house.

What were the bad luck, bad timing, and "are you kidding me" reactions?

*Signaled intersections changed from green to red when I was close to the intersection making me break harder than normal.

*The parking lots were full. It took too long to find a parking spot. A car dropping off passengers in front of a store blocked a path which I waited minutes. A bicyclist crossed my path too slowly without yielding.

*I purchased an Oakland A's fitted baseball cap in a sports store. The employee was rude.

*I drove around a small office park to find its US Post Office. I made two wrong turns.

*There was confusion at the self-checkout in a supermarket. I didn't scan one of the items when I placed the item on the counter. I heard the beep. Maybe the self-checkout didn't register the item or I heard the beep from another self-checkout. I waited minutes for the grocery employee to reset my self-checkout because he assisted another customer ahead of me.

*My gym workout was incomplete. I arrived to the gym late because I was behind in other responsibilities.
