Dearest Santa, Thank you so much for the thoughtful gift. It will probably be in my possession and used for a very long time to come, if not the rest of my life.

This past week has brought a lot of change to my world. Not only was Friday April 6 my 43rd birthday but on April 2 I landed in the hospital. After several shuffles between my doctor's office and the ER I was finally diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. While I know you intended the gift to be for my habit of bullet journaling, it will instead live with my glucometer to document the very data that I need to live. At least twice a day I will be thinking of you and sending the best vibes your way in hopes that your life remains full, happy and healthy. Thank you again for the well-timed and thoughtful gift! <3
