I wanted to say a quick thank you to everyone that helped celebrate my birthday. I'm still only mildly convinced that 25 is a big deal, but I appreciate your efforts nonetheless. Included in that thanks is whoever left the lavender plant and book on my doorstep. I'm assuming they were meant for me as they arrived on my birthday and that would be a pretty wild coincidence otherwise. It was very kind and I look forward to using both.
On a less birthday related note, I did go and visit my sister yesterday and someone had beaten me to it. I don't know if seeing her is something that many do with frequency, but it sincerely made me happy to see the marigolds there for her. They were Mari's favorite, which I think was only somewhat because of obvious reasons.
On an even less birthday related note, I was offered that position that I'd applied for when I asked for resume proofreaders. So basically what I'm saying is that you got me a new job, Finnley.
