Immediately family, exes I was with for 2+ years, and friends whose birthdays are numbers that are easy to remember, like 121 or 227. Mine is 404, so remember that, folks. I like whiskey and rum!

I just counted it up and I’m at 15. That’s actually a lot more than I expected, so go me, I guess.

I think the final count for me is going to be eight. Just remembered a cousin, whom I’ve not seen in almost 25 years, whose birthday falls on Christmas Day. I always thought she had a bad break with that.
