We’re having a very small gathering for my grandpa’s birthday. I usually don’t attend such things, but I think I will this time since Grandpa is running out of birthdays. I already have the page ready since it’s such a simple continuation for the previous one.

In years past these sorts of things would often go on and on into the night, but now everyone is either dead, or busy, so I won’t be out all that late, I expect. Ever since my leg issue happened I have avoided traveling even more than I used to since it results in my feet being uncomfortable. Recently though I’ve managed to get to a point where it’s much less pronounced and often abates in an hour or so once I can sit on the floor for a while.

I could potentially stay home and work on various things, but I kinda feel like I’ve earned the right to see what’s left of my family before it’s gone. Hopefully most of you won’t hold that against me. I know from experience that some of you will, but I suspect those people haven’t done anything particularly worthy of my concern over the last two decades. Realistically grandpa won’t even know I was ever there ten minutes after we leave, so I’m not sure who all will benefit from my presence, is anyone will at all. I just have a feeling that I should go this time.

Anyway, I hope you have a nice start to your week. Be careful out in that big, scary, world. I’ll be waiting here for you on Wednesday, so don’t make me cry.
