MY BIRTHDAY!
I LOOOOOOOVe the excuses that birthdays bring. I can’t get up too early – its my birthday. I don’t care that my room is a tip – its my birthday. I’m going to buy new clothes even though I haven’t finished my Christmas shopping – its my birthday.
I was feeling a little apprehensive about the fact that I’d nothing particularly exciting planned to make today special. Just as I was dashing downstairs to leave the house, I noticed the kitchen light on – my housemate had left it on to bring me purposely into the kitchen, where I discovered balloons, a cake, a card and pains au chocolat for my breakfast. A simple gesture that spoke volumes of effort and true care for me which was unexpected and brought tears (not so unexpected).
Then, the student I met today was great. Not only because she bought me tea and an almond slice (I can eat as much junk as I like – its my birthday), but because of the way she relates to me. She’s so at ease, giving me the freedom to be myself rather than Ms Super Staff Worker.
I had an excuse to buy someone really pretty yellow flowers today. I know that might seem random, because it wasn’t me who got the flowers, but I LOVE getting flowers so much that I take any excuse to buy them for others because it feels so lovely to get them!

THREE birthday cakes!
