Dear Journal,
Guess what today is? You should know because it is a very special day for me. Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday dear Christina, happy birthday to me :] Yippee! I was very happy that today was my birthday but the day was not as fun as I wished it was.
In simple words we just had bad luck today! After a long rainy night by the mouth of the Gasconade River, the cargo in the red pirogue- which carries 9 tons plus 14- men is wet. Just our luck! So we all stepped in and helped to unload it and spread everything out to dry. The sooner everything drys the faster we can move on! Since we can't travel, some of the men volunteered to go out to hunt and explore the area on a wet and cloudy day like today. They came back with one deer, so we all had small helpings for dinner.
Even though today was a rainy, cloudy, and took a lot of hard work and patience, in the end it was fun because everyone wished me a happy birthday and they gave me the biggest helping of the deer! I was glad that I got to spend my birthday with my friends on this "fun" day :]
