That sucks. BUT. on the bright side, I bet you remember this birthday more than you would if everything went swimmingly 😅 and you've got people who love and care about you enough to try to make your birthday special (even if a certain youngling is flipping out).
Yesterday the power flickered at my residence, and I was all of a sudden very aware of the almost 30 degree temperature difference between inside and outside (was 100 F here yesterday). Stay cool!
