Yesterday I turned 26. It wasn't a bad day overall, though uneventful. Woke up feeling ill so we didn't go into town, but instead went to Olly's parents' house for the evening.
I got a lot of nice well wishes thanks to Facebook's birthday reminder service (however cynical I am about it, it's still nice to have birthday messages) and some nice gifts as well. Have some games I would be otherwise unable to afford, given to me by dj_damien and Adam & Sharm, as well as the last Sims 2 expansion which Olly got for me despite me telling him not to spend money because I've been bad about it lately (naughty Olly :P). Chris sent me some sweeties separately, and when I went to buy the omgdelicious cake (same one i had last year) the bakery didn't have it so I got some chocolates instead (at like 1/3 of the price but still nice chocolates). They came in a really nice pink box, which I'm planning to turn into a good mood box.
I haven't really had many good moods lately, and when I do they're very short lived, sugar- or event-driven, rather than lasting, healthy moods. Call it depression, call it dysphasia, whatever it is, it's hard to live with and is making me less useful by the day. I'm going to fill my good mood box with postcards I've been sent (btw thanks kori <3), little treasures, and other things that just make me smile to look at them, and keep the box on my desk. Hopefully it will be enough to keep me going this year.
Enough of that though- I'm also going to send out a batch of postcards. If you'd like one, let me know, (and I can check to see if I have your current address before you post it ont he internets) I'm gonna go into town and get them tomorrow hopefully but I'll buy a fair amount.
