Well, it’s official. Gone are the days of the expansive birthday month in which the birthday boy is omnipotent.
I forgot entirely that it was Gary’s birthday month. He’s so dispirited that he has doesn’t care. His official answer is, “You already do everything I want,” which would sound great, only what he wants is that I leave him alone while he naps.
However, during the Rachel Maddow show he said, “Write down the name of that book. i might want to buy it.”
Elated, I said, “I’ll buy it right now! Birthday present! But I’ll need your iPad to get to Amazon Prime.”
“Nah, I’m comfy.” (Comfy = Surrounded by conga drums piled with hoodies and every pen, comb, or remote he might ever need.)
I sighed, “Well, buy it yourself later and call it your birthday gift.”
I swear, Monday’s allergist appointment better get him on the road to recovery. I need Birthday Man back making demands.

I hope the allergist appointment works! But also honestly national news has a lot of people sort of dissociating right now, so that might be a layer as well? In any event, hope it all gets better!
(also, glad you write the book down!)
KC _ I honestly don’t know how we will cope if this doesn’t improve things.
*hugs* to you; it’s really rough.
