The day is over now and I kept asking myself, "is this all there is to my birthday"? At least I don't have to think about going to work tomorrow.

Happy Birthday, Will. I'm sure you are very young for your years, with how fit you must be from all that bike riding. You inspire me. I used to cycle a lot. I may start again, when it warms up.
Talking with your brother sounds like a pretty big deal to me. Maybe you can build on that and increase the family connectedness. Maybe send him some recent photos of yourself. Your friend could snap a few, perhaps.
Take heart. It's good that you are still here in the world, helping to keep things going.
