Personally, I'm fine with that, although I'm unsure as to it's correctness.
It's usually easy to stuff an extra word at the end of a sentence so that
the quote isn't near punctuation.  Although, I would ask if you're missing
a colon in the latter sentence.  It would seem so to me, due to the spoken
pause, but sources on correct use of colons are conflicting.

Congratulations!  I don't see any spelling errors in your reply, as
has been normal for you recently ...  Did you turn on the spell check?
I generally don't use one, unless it's for something important.

And, I was somewhat surprised to learn that "thanks" is actually
a word.  At least, it's a word according to online version of
Merriam Webster.  I was always taught that it wasn't and that
one should use "thank you."  So, I guess I need to watch on my
apostrophes.  It seems I'm now inserting them where I know
they don't go.
