I had a very short week. I took some vacation time on Tuesday and Wednesday, so my week has hardly began and now it's ending. It feels very odd, but it was much needed and I feel so relaxed and stress-free currently. It's a great feeling.

My birthday was Tuesday. I am now 25, a whole quarter-of-a-century old. I had a great birthday, which you can read about here, with one of the highlights being my trip to the Wild Animal Safari, where I got to feed giraffes and zebras!

As mentioned above, I had two days off, and they were so relaxing!

For my birthday, I received birthday rewards from both Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks, so I got to get any drink of my choice. I'm generally very simple: iced coffee with nonfat milk and sweet-n-low. Since it was my birthday week and I didn't actually have to pay for anything, I got something a little special, my favorite, a venti iced skinny caramel macchiato, and it was everything.


I got into the gym with some coworkers. Don't get me wrong, I've still been doing some moving at home- basic cardio and lots of squats- but it felt so good to really sweat again, and going with other people made me push harder, so as to not embarrass myself. :)

Coming back to work after two days off, I had some nice little surprises from colleagues in the office, including lots of Dunkin Donuts gift cards and a stuffed cat. It made me feel so happy to know how much people care!



I hope your week was just as wonderful!
