QotD is a feature dedicated to answering questions from Piccadilly’s 5 Year Question a Day Memory Journal. The journal states its purpose is to help reflect back on daily routine and to act as a “time capsule” of experiences. As someone who laments their awful memory, I thought this was a wonderful tool and opportunity.

What are you looking forward to?

Without a doubt, my partner’s birthday. While we have many events coming up, such as seeing Jaime French’s show, I am most excited for their birthday because we are planning to do something they’ve been wanting to do for awhile, which is go to the aquarium, walk around the koi pond, then eat at an old fashioned diner and candy shop.

We are rather simple and rarely go out or do extravagant things. Last fall, they planned a date for us that just never happened for various reasons. They told me that was all they wanted for their birthday, so that’s what were are doing.
