playing ketchup

On Tuesday, I had an infusion in the morning, brought Onyx to an appointment, went to the gorcery store to pick up a few necessities that turned into not just a few necessities, and then had a neurology appointment in the afternoon that took twice as long as it should have. I spent the day in extreme pain and received a devastating diagnosis.

And it was Eris' nineteenth birthday.

I've spent this past year feeling like I'm playing catch-up and never quite catching up, and Tuesday was no different. I felt horrible that I felt horrible on Eris' special day. Onyx and I had bought ice cream for celebratory sundaes, so there was that. And the promise of a gift arriving on Wednesday, doing something special with me on Thursday, and a MTG Pre-release tournament with Dad and siblings on Friday.

I hope the rest of Eris' birthday week goes well and she has fun.

18. still has not mastered levitating objects

Happy Birthday, Eris!
