The big 2-4.

I had a lovely birthday! Yes, okay, I had to work yesterday (which was actually my birthday) and I have to work today (on the tail end of some minor food poisoning), but despite these things it was quite a nice.

I had a potluck picnic in the park on Friday night. There were seven people who cancelled that afternoon, but this was for the best -- due to inclement weather, the potluck picnic in the park became a potluck picnic in my apartment. Now, my apartment is fairly spacious for a one-bedroom, but anyone else and we would have had to start putting people on the balcony. Aforementioned inclement weather would have likely resulted in some form of rumble to determine who got to commune with my patio set and geraniums. As is, it was a lovely evening. One of my friends even brought me sunflowers! The only reason my apartment is not a jungle is that it's north-facing with low light levels. As is, it is only a woodland glade.

There was also a farm-neighbourhood-type gathering out at the family farm last night (which is where I appear to have been given the gift of minor food poisoning). As it happened to fall on my birthday, I felt fully justified in pretending the fireworks were all for me, mwhahahah. Fireworks are right up there with plants on the list of Things I Love. They are bright, shiny-sparkly, and multicoloured, encompassing many of my favourite things into a single exploding package.

I'm glad you were able to have a picnic even if it was indoors. (: Sounds like a lovely birthday party. The food poisoning sucks, but you have people who are nice to you -- and fireworks!

AND VIVIDCON THIS WEEK YAY.

Treats! I'm glad your boss appreciates you.

The thing about being surrounded by Real Vidding Rock Stars is that *they* will also fangirl *you*. NO REALLY.

Re emails -- yeah, sure, I dunno, I'm not keeping score. Would be fun to do, though, yes? (:

Re when to release stuff -- Sunday evening works well, I've found. People are coming home and logging on after a weekend afk. Wouldn't do it before about 5pm your time, though.
