We met with friends to eat at Chili Tepin yesterday, which is a very happy. They insisted on paying, which was wrong because we invited them, but b-days and shit. So, we didn't fight about it.

I grew up with the story that there was a blizzard when I was born, mom didn't care because she was in the hospital. I did some weather research, and the weather when and where I was born was... foggy, with a negligible amount of snow, no appreciable wind, not even all that cold for the area. Which tells me what I already know about my family relationship to objective reality. My brother, during the failed attempt at breaking the estrangement, claimed a paternal cousin claimed they were mafia. Which is so far... I mean, mobsters maybe, but even then. Not Italian, nor even Sicilian, but French speaking, just to start. And a murder by the eldest brother... no longer spoken of. Not impossible, still, given how my father would lie unconvincingly when the truth would have been just fine. Ok, I don't know. My mother's family seeeeeemed more stable, but only in comparison, and all their stories come into question. My maternal grandfather was not the 'orphan from Ireland' the stories claimed. My family, on both sides, were full of shit.

This is fine, since I'm clear of the lot of 'em.

Moby constipated, we are doing what we can. Not letting this turn into obstruction, again. He's starting to get things moving this morning. Mixed wet food half and half with pumpkin, which he's going for.

Reading a lot of CaptainAwkward, helpful. "... honesty is for safe people just like reasons are for reasonable people." And this post should be mandatory for all young people wanting to date anyone. Men, seek out women authors, musicians, directors.

Feeling like a full month off really would be ideal. Worked a lot, but didn't accomplish as much as I imagined. Like the last day of the move, and there is still too much to do, even though I'd been packing for a month. I get a week, though. One more day. Seriously not enough. Want to sleep more. Will have another week break in May.

Selling and giving away some of the excess today. The box of coaxial cable left by POs went last night, free.
