first forties mission: success
I'm 40!
My birthday cake was delicious! And it was pretty! I got it from a locally-owned ice cream shop, and it turns out that it makes an effort to hire and train disabled employees, and a couple of the workers there were even wearing masks when we came to pick up! It's like it was algorithmically designed for me to like!
Not only that, the rest of my family who was there liked it too. It will probably be one of my most memorable birthday cakes ever, and that's a nice thing to start my 40s with 😊
