this week is starting off with what i can only assume is a sinus infection, so that's not ideal. i'm also down two grandparents, which likewise is not ideal

Today is my birthday.

My mom has small cell lung cancer and is halfway across the US with my older brother. She has been mentally deteriorating for a while and they forgot my birthday. I get it because there is a lot going on with her disease, it's just hard to see her so broken that she forgot.

My favorite food is artichokes and no store had them in stock, so I'm just gonna have steak and squash instead. Was at least hoping this would be an upside and now it's not lol

IDK. It's been an okay day I guess, I feel bad for my mom mostly. Getting older is hard.

Hey birthday buddy, sorry to hear yours is crappy this year. I hope you get to see your mom again soon.
