the ones you love
Apr. 24th, 2020 10:53 pmI am slightly drunk and very silly.
Tonight has been an unusually sociable night. It is TL's birthday (happy birthday to the best wife!!), and I got to give her a cake (covered in the fated buttercream) and a DnD sourcebook.
Otherwise, here are such things that have happened today:
My brother and my two nephews stopped by outside our house to wish TL a happy birthday, through a window, for a solid half hour. E, our older nephew, demanded that we come to his house immediately afterwards. Unlikely, although darling; it is lovely for our presence to be so desired. we plan to stop by tomorrow and shout-chat with him and the rest of the fam from the sidewalk. Poor kid is so sociable; clear signs of stress at having Auntie Time diminished.
My work put on a digital Happy Hour at six. I almost didn't go but I am glad I did; it is easier to socialize with my coworkers from the comfort of my pyjama pants than it is to stay at work until 7 and not get home till 10. We did about a dozen toasts to different parts of the production team, since our current production is wrapping up, and it was sweet af.
We played some Jackbox games with our dear friend M, from DnD, and a handful of other people I'm loosely acquainted with (mostly from the ten-years-ago school days). I am glad she put these on; she came to drop off a gaming system and games a few days ago, with proper social distancing established, and she seemed to be doing pretty badly. She got dumped by her good-for-nothing BF in december and had been struggling a bit, and I think the total isolation is getting to her. I love her dearly, and wish I could do more -- it was good to hear her laugh today. We'll hear from her again tomorrow with DnD at least.
It's a strange time, but it distills the love we have for the people in our lives. I am not strictly the most sociable person, but I find myself feeling strongly about the people in our lives that mean the most.
Check on your folks, folks. Everyone needs a little extra love right now.
