OK, time for a very busy day. First thing first, I went to get my allergy shot. I got very far behind but now I'm all caught up, and having stayed over at the in-laws made it very easy to get there. Afterwards I watched some episodes of Cobra Kai with IRA before going to the party with my mom's best friend and her son's family. We drove about an hour and a half through the construction detour. We were the 2nd there. The son has a 6 month old baby, and she was kind of fascinated by me. When she noticed I was around she just fixated on me taking it all in. I don't know if it was my beard, hat with sunglasses on them, or my high viz jacket with a cartoon dinosaur on my shirt underneath, or some combination of all of it, but she always looked at me very inquisitively. Some times she reached out to me but then when I got close she recoiled, so it was like she wanted to see me and didn't. Later on she saw my rings (highschool, college, and grandpa), and I let her grab at them while I kept my fingers curled to make sure they didn't come off. Mskate was concerned they would fall off but I assured her they were on secure. Later on she was reaching for them again and I said "you can play with them when I can be sure you won't choke on them." We had pizza for lunch and I took on the task of figuring out the best topping combinations based on what everyone likes. Once the baby was taking a nap we played a game where we had to fill in the blank and try to match with someone else. Dad and I were neck and neck but then he won the "next point wins." The drive home was pretty tame, but when I got home I was quite tired. I did manage to do some cleaning, get a video out, and read my bible (though I'm getting this blog out the next day). Later.
