That depressing post has been up for long enough, I think.

Life has gotten much better since I last posted, at least in most aspects.

My birthday was fantastic. The best one in memory, I think. Joy and Jan invited me over for dinner and invited one of my friends. It was an amazing meal, complete with wine and chocolate. I don't know how I forgot to invite Chris :S

What made my day so amazing was that it was filled with unexpected cards and gifts. Both work and my housemates got me something. Even my birthday dinner was not organized by me, but by people who wanted to let me know that they love and care about me.

Last year when I left it up to my friends nothing happened.

I got a bunch of gifts, too, everything from a bottle of wine with a card that read "legal at last!" to a pair of lovely red shoes. I've been gorging myself on chocolate the entire week and my waistline is most definitely beginning to feel it. I've had to take temporary leave of jogging due to a back spasm, but I'm starting again on Monday.

The weather has been gorgeous the past few days. I feel like our luck is running out. On days when no one's around I tend to head up to Fletcher Moss Gardens with a book, although today I wandered around the center of town for a few hours. Today I wore my first skirt of spring, most definitely a noteworthy occasion.

That's about all I have to say right now. Life is good, good, good. Although poor. I'm out of money - and open to accepting donations.

And the cute guy at the vegetable store is named Paul.
