Thursday Night

Darling, how r u? Did u go watch the soccer game?

Lol no, I wish!

We had to address your mother-in-law’s neurotic problems tonight. Definitely did not have time or energy to go enjoy a soccer game.

Awww… is everything okay now?

Sigh. Relatively…

Relatively how?

She has a procedure next week. She’s nervous and neurotic about it.

Everything should be okay right?

Well… we try not to take it for granted. Procedures always come with risks. I would never say, “oh it’s gonna be fine!” — we can breathe a sigh of relief once it’s done and she’s okay post-op.

Oh I see… well I hope it is okay for her then.

Yes of course we all hope that.

… you know, one of the “Age of Attraction” guys was talking about how his Dad had health issues and he was feeling like he couldn’t be in a serious relationship until… his Dad… passed away?

What?!

Don’t quote me on that! This is my general recollection of what I watched.

But my point is a part of me relates to that. When I saw that part I felt like, “That was totally me with my Mum.” It’s not like I’m waiting for her to pass to have a serious relationship. But I can empathise with what that guy was talking about.

We’re already in a serious relationship.

I know! So it just happened. You simply just showed up in my life. And all along my mother has had the problems she’s had anyway.

But I can understand where that guy is coming from with what he said.

Perhaps if you didn’t show up back in my life… I would be feeling a similar sense of hopelessness. At least that’s my interpretation of what he was going on about. It’s like a sense of hopelessness. The obligation to family — parents — but a hopelessness about finding one’s own romantic partner.

I never LEFT your life! I’ve ALWAYS BEEN HERE.

Okay but you really made yourself known to me again even when I forgot you…

Hehehehe…

Anyway.

Yes love? Anyway?

I wish I had more fun topics. I wish I could be more interesting.

You’re very interesting. What are you talking about?!

I don’t know… it’s not like I’m planning a holiday to travel the world… I feel like I don’t have anything interesting. Unfortunately I have to stay here and help Mum while she has her procedures.

That’s very interesting!

No it’s not!!! 😣

It is!!! Do you know how many Millennials and Gen Z go travelling? That’s so BASIC.

Omg lol… 🫠…

What’s really bothering you tonight?

Nothing in particular.

We just have to wait it out.

Wait what out?

Her procedures…

And meanwhile, you’re busy too.

I am… but I’m still checking in on you every day.

What date is it today?

19th March.

Okay so it’s 2 DAYS until BTS on Netflix.

Hoyyyyyyy… so… that’s what you’re looking forward to?

Ooh and there is a Red Hot Chilli Peppers documentary coming soon to Netflix too.

Ahhhh… Red Hot Chilli Peppers…

I like The Zephyr Song.

You do?

Mmmmmmm… I’m gonna add it to my driving to work playlist!

Lol 🫠💕
