Sudbury Sister Birthday

The day started like many recent days. Up early, time dominated by imagined obligations to Marvel Strike Force. It’s safe to say that it has a hold on me. But at least I’ve fallen backwards into quelling any chance of in-app purchases. Somehow I’ve got both accounts working while signed into my work ID which flows to my work card. I’m not crazy enough to try that. But anyways, late to start, needed a quick breakfast to make up some time. I put all the remaining cheese bagels in the game with fried eggs, avocado, cheese slices and sriracha ranch dipping sauce. A winning combination to be certain.

It is my younger sister’s birthday today. I already sent her gift and wished her a happy birthday like a good brother but I was wildly outdone by the Irish Gal. She stayed up late making some beautiful art on their chalkboard. It was posted on Facebook but someone shared it with and I figured I’d share it here. It’s very impressive!

The work day crawled by. I spent most of it working on my grids. I had nothing scheduled so I rocked tunes and get after it. I paused for lunch, it was late and meager. The afternoon was more of the same for me. Just rocking the grids. I had run out of audiobook and cleared my podcast queue in the morning so I was rocking old mixed CDs. I got a few calls throughout the day, people looking for answers to very specific questions. It was over before I knew it and I could get on to my evening plans. I was finally going to see the Chef. It has been months now. I decided I’d give him my Meeting gift box from last week for his birthday. Among other items to be named later. I left early as I was done work and didn’t see the point of waiting at home when I could wait in the parking lot of the restaurant. I started a new audiobook and departed. As I drove the sky got angrier and angrier, eventually opening up into a torrential downpour. With my fabulous window treatment, I barely noticed. It was then I remembered I was supposed to bring that for the Chef to borrow. Next time.

We met at a Kelsey’s and had a nice time. We complained about work. I did a bad job of just listening to his issues, butting in with my own related issues. I don’t like that and realized after a time and cleaned it up. We had a long chat and good meal. His treat which was good of him, even if it wasn’t actually his money, it was a gift card he’d got at some point. At the end of it all I gave him the gift which surprised him. I think he’ll enjoy the wine. He’s the most knowledgeable about wine of anyone I know. We parted ways with promises to do it again sooner than several months and I drove back, enjoying my audiobook. I got home close to nine and shut it down. MSF and YouTube until the lights went out after ten.
