I get an extra piece of marzipan today, because I didn't freak the eff out

I was gifted a box of marzipan on a recent gifting occasion - and I've been alloting myself one piece of marzipan per day.
This stretches out the timing of the pleasure [-in-one-item].

I made a verbal contract with myself, before today began, that if I didn't freak the eff out today, I could get an extra piece of marzipan in the evening: an unexpected time!

Today was a special day for me, in that it's an anniversary of a life-changing event.

In the end, I "earned" my extra piece of marzipan today ... if one can earn an extra piece of marzipan, on any day.
