Over the hump

The nature of my work keeps me extremely busy leading up to the holidays. It's a little like juggling, but twice as many balls/plates/torches than I'd been accustomed to before stepping foot in this office. I guess my stress level was palpable, as I recieved the following email from a friend with whom I have little regular contact.

Subject: Hi happy

Would you be able to make yourself available for lunch any time soon to celebrate any, or all, of the following:

 

1) Your up-coming 24th Birthday

 

2) The Holiday season

 

3) The fact that you know me

 

Please Advise

That really put a smile on my face. Couple that with the fact that I have now completed the challenging tasks at hand and can move back to the regular pace of life at the office (fast enough for me thankyouverymuch), I really am a happy girl: a girl who has a birthday, the holidays, a great friend and a free lunch to celebrate!
