That sounds like quite a cake, Matt. Enjoy your birthday/day off tomorrow!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
What a gesture! Happy BD!

That sounds like a wonderful cake, Matt! Happy anticipation of birthday day!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Happy early birthday, Matt. That's a lovely thing for them to do.
I studied Zen meditation for a while. They recommended taking a household chore, and making it a meditation. For quite a while I would take the dirty dishes out of the dishwasher and wash them by hand. It was soothing, despite my roommates thinking I was insane.
Not something I do so much anymore. Cleaning is either joyless discipline, or a quest for OCD satisfaction.
Though seeing my apartment clean and tidy (and knowing everything in the closets and cupboards is organised) is a very good feeling.
I'm both cleaning and organising in my newly-found free time.

When you're racing - it's life. Anything that comes before or after is just waiting.
Happy Early Birthday, Matt. BTW, what local Italian bistro would you be referring to (since there are only a handful here in Memphis)?
Speaking of turning a chore into meditation, I managed to do that with the laundry, which I used to loathe. Fortunately, doing the dishes has never been a problem for me.
BTW, thanks to all for the very warm welcome everyone.

I don't like washing pots. Scrubbing grease and baked on stuff--yuck.
Reason #1 to have a dog. Evolution has built her clean nasty pots and she has a blast doing it. Then I give a scrubby-dub with the Dawn and its done.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATT!!!!!
