All right, then

Yesterday, for my birthday, I decided to allow myself not just to eat whatever I wanted, but to binge. Here is the list of stuff I ate:

corn muffin
rock candy
cornish hen
bagel with whitefish
stuffed artichokes
asparagus
t-bone and ribeye steak
birthday cake

When I went to bed last night, my stomach was so full, I was having trouble breathing. I was drowning in my own corpulence. It was sort of freeing, oddly.

Today, however, I'm barely sentient, so I'm signing off. I'm going to eat more rock candy and birthday cake tonight. So there!

Happy Belated Birthday, Liz. That eating whatever you want on your birthday idea is a great one. And no regrets is absolutely the way to go.

Hope you have a great year older.

Happy (belated) Birthday!

Happy belated birthday :)

Happy belated birthday, Liz!
Here below, you have the lyrics of the “Happy birthday to you” in Spanish:

¡Que los cumplas feliz,
Que los cumplas feliz,
Que los cumplas, Liz Spikol
Que los cumplas feliz!

All my best,
Raquel :)

Happy Birthday to You!
Happy Birthday to You!
Happy Birthday to Liz
Happy Birthday to You!
