I’m preparing my kid’s birthday. He’s with his father today, we broke up two months ago. It is a lot to do, a lot to clean, prepare and think of. And even though my ex is okay with pulling his load, I’m still the one to remember most of the things. Plus, the day before my kid’s birthday is a holiday and everything, including daycare, is closed. So you have to plan extra early. Wrapping gifts, buying batteries, checking the gifts for defects, buying decorations, picking up the helium bottle, buying stuff to make a cake, smuggling the new bike from grandma’s cellar when kid is not looking.

If I ever date again, I will not be a walking reminder to the other person that shops are closed, that laser swords need batteries, how many people are coming to the party etc. etc. etc. Do I look like an external hard drive?

Rant end.
