End of August

So August is concluding. I'm not sure why this is leaving me with a mildly depressed attitude. Possibly because my birthday Sunday, Aug. 24th) was even more underwhelming this year than it normally is.
I don't think this would usually bother me as much, but after my friends set up to have surprise birthday dinners for two of my other friends this year, I feel sorta ignored for getting nothing but empty 'Happy Birthday' wishes on Facebook.
On top of that, two days later my boss told me he has to temporarily let me go because there isn't enough work for him to be able to afford to pay me to be there.
I'm using the extra free time to try and get a drawing for an art trade done and other stuff I've had ideas for and a few things I need to sew - one a gift for my friend's wedding.
So, yeah...
