Happy birthday to Madoka (no, she doesn't come here)! I didn't send her anything by mail and only finally managed to shoot off a brief, pathetic email, even though it's well into tomorrow wherever she is, either Thailand or Japan.

I had been struggling with sending her a birthday greeting since yesterday, but I couldn't think of anything to say to her otherwise. I was considering not sending anything at all, but then I thought she wouldn't care about the quality of any email, just as long as I'm always open with her.

So I decided it would be better to send a pathetic, brief email just saying happy birthday, than to want to say happy birthday and not say anything at all.
