I told my spouse I wasn’t in the mood to organize a more traditional birthday celebration, or to attend one someone else organized for me — I just want to enjoy my days off relaxing after weeks of dividing my attention between extremely several demanding activities (university, fellowship, work).
So he got me a fancy “home spa” setup so he can pamper me — and I almost cried when he entered my office today carrying a huge box to show it to me. 🥲
(My birthday’s next week — he’s early.)
