With everything else that's been going crazy, one thing I have completely neglected is my birthday.

It's cool. I don't mind. I was intending to postpone it until the boy got back from Turkey, anyway.

However, it meant I didn't ask for stuff from people. (Although I have got a slim package that I haven't opened yet.) There are a few things I'm watching on eBay and stuff, that I might buy for myself and let people give me the money for or something like that.

I just haven't felt like thinking about it so much. Apart from that it's my quarter century (which is slightly aaagh), various things going on with family — Slen's holiday in Turkey being the very least of those — meant it wasn't going to be a 'normal' birthday however you looked at it.

I did manage to do one Major Life Thing sort of thing before I turned 25, and I'm quite pleased about that.
