Happy birthday! Buy yourself the cake! There is something really therapeutic about celebrating, even if it’s by yourself. My birthday was last week, and I wasn’t able to get people together to celebrate with me. Instead I dressed up and visited a local garden that was on my wish list. It was delightful to take a whole day to treat myself, so I highly recommend doing something for you on your birthday. Last year sounded super trying for you so I hope you treat yourself this year’

Happy birthday!

Props for talking to cashiers.
