przedThanks to everyone for all the lovely birthday greetings. It definitely made my day more special.
It was sort of a low key birthday, but very nice for all that. I started by skiving off this afternoon. I had half a personal day I had to use by the end of the week, and I was thinking of using it later in the week, but I decided fuck it, took this afternoon off. I met the Sweetie for lunch (had a lovely butternut squash ravioli at a bistro near his work), renewed my driver's licence (as one does on one's birthday in Canada), and then went home and watched POI and Top Gear until the Sweetie got home. Then it was pick Ros up after her Cantonese class and go to a nice Chinese restaurant for dinner, then cake and pressies at home.
The cake was awesome. It's our usual white chocolate mousse birthday cake from the caterer who did our wedding, but the Sweetie made it even more awesome by having them put a certain logo on the top.
Since I can't have chocolate, the logo is yummy licorice.
Here's me and Ros and the cake.
And here's two of my presents. My various fandom were well represented this year. There was the Take That logo on the cake, The Girl from U.N.C.L.E. DVDs, and a Sheffield United match scarf for Sean Bean. Yay!
In non-birthday news, I finished my Yuletide story yesterday, got it back from my betas today, and they have declared it doesn't suck. Which is a relief. It was oddly easy to write, and I was fearing that meant it wasn't any good.
Tomorrow is my last martial arts class before I do my first belt test at this school. Aiiiieeeee! I am strangely nervous, considering I'm really not fussed about whether I pass or not.
Also, as of Saturday, our mortgage is sort of paid off. Yay!!!! Now let the retirement saving commence in earnest!
