How I spent my 27th birthday

A comedy of errors, a small get-together, and lots of love from readers and reviewers

My last birthday was yesterday, October 14th 2019.

Sadly, I was unwell. I plodded through the day, finished my 10 AM class, even managed to catch a few hours of sleep after lunch. In the evening, a few neighbours came over with a cake and some food, and we spent some quality time together.

The highlight of the evening was a call from an unknown number saying I have a package. I didn’t know what to expect, and when I went downstairs to collect it, I was surprised to see a man holding a box that surely looked like a cake and a bunch of red roses.

I thanked the man and carried the gifts upstairs. When I opened the cake, I wasn’t sure whether I should laugh or cry. Written in bold, chocolaty letters, was this-

Happy birthday, my dear hubby.

I know, right?

A friend had called me up in the morning saying he was about to order something for me, so I dropped him a message asking if it was him. He said yes, and when I showed him this picture, he rolled his eyes and said the bakery must have messed up.

It was a comedy of errors, but hey, at least the cake was delicious.
