Today’s my sister’s 33rd birthday. Baby Dominic is sick; he passed his germs onto my sister who wasn’t feeling well yesterday, but today she perked up and felt fine. I thought it was really cute that she decided to curl her hair and make herself up to celebrate her birthday–even though she wasn’t going anywhere.
I said I didn’t want to be around a sick baby, I didn’t want to jeopardize my health during my conversions. But I surprised Therese by bringing over flowers. Someone who lives in her apartment complex was kind enough to let me sneak in even though I didn’t have a key. My parents were over, too. They brought Chinese food (requested by the birthday girl).
