Dear cali sister:

And I didn’t think about this part of it, to not celebrate with others being the opposite of your mother’s message but I see it now. Yes, definitely, your NC is so very valuable without celebrating it with anyone. But you are welcome to celebrate it here with me, in a quiet kind of way (no restaurant, or a dance floor with people, etc.)-

– I imagine when you get home your puppy will be happy to see you. I hope you make yourself comfortable (if you are staying at home and not celebrating still your sister’s birthday?) and listen to music you like, or whatever it is you choose to do. And anytime you want to celebrate this wonderful achievement, this NC, type away!

(I will write to your sister tomorrow then, glad you are okay with postponing it).
