Celebrate

Today is World Toilet Day!

"The world deserves better toilets."

Flush accordingly.

And this kicks off our birthday extravaganza weekend.

Helena's birthday is tomorrow, but the daycare is having a celebration for her this afternoon at snack time. J-F and I have been invited to join them.

Tomorrow afternoon we'll head over to J-F's mom's place for further festivities. Who knows what's in store?

Sunday is my turn. Though I was originally a little turned off by the idea having our birthdays one day after the other, I see now how it encourages prolonged merrymaking and indulgences — a good thing. Even materialism is relinquishing its hold on me to quality time spent with family and friends (and the one thing I really, really want: being allowed to sleep in till I'm finished).

But I refuse to share a cake. I insist on separate cakes.
