Reminders

[Written Saturday, 11 January 2020, 23:13]

Had a nice relaxing day.
Until I realized I almost forgot it was my dad’s birthday tomorrow. Luckily my mom was just going out to get something for him and so I agreed to split the cost with her and get something from both of us.
Mom got three plants for the garden. Now, personally I think that’s a bit of a lame gift, but beggars can’t be choosers. We call the plant half-humans (no idea why really). I just quickly googled their actual name and it’s “Pachypodium namaquanum” (not much more helpful to me than half-humans). It’s a cactus kind of plant, all thorny along its body although it does have these long thin leaves at the top.

All three my brothers (and I assume their wives and children) are coming to visit for my dad’s birthday tomorrow. I’m not really looking forward to it. I just know I’ll be awkward and bad at socializing.
My one brother usually has so little contact with us he might as well be a stranger. The second brother is only slightly better than that. The third and eldest brother keeps in pretty regular contact with us though, but he always tries to push for me to go and visit him but between work and studies I don’t have the time and I hate saying no to him.
