Note added to goal Have dinner by candlelight

So, I've technically done this one. Dan helped me make dinner (ziti alfredo with chicken and a Greek salad), and when Akeyl came by, I lit a candle. Not like it was particularly dark anyway, or like it was particularly "dinner."

Either way! This happened!

The rent is significantly too high, however, so I won't be staying past my current lease.
