Gonna be 30 in a few weeks, so that's weird.
My parents were initially planning to come visit for it since I wouldn't be able to travel as I'm writing my PhD thesis. We made plans in February. Then shit hit the fan. Thanks 2020.

I had pinned a lot on having a good 30th birthday, and I've come to terms with not really having a birthday this year. I'm gonna make myself a cake, maybe order some pizza or something. Gifts will be either digital or in cash/gift cards I guess.

And that's all totally fine. Birthdays are just days. It's just hard being across an ocean from my family, and they can have small get togethers outside and social distance. My mom can bake them cakes.

I have some serviceable but mismatched cake tins that are kind of rusty so I need to use parchment paper up the sides when I use them.

There's something nice in having your mom make you a cake and a nice meal. Even if it's not fancy. One thing we liked to do in the summer was make bbq pizza (pizza made on a bbq). I miss that.
