There is a 70% chance mom's coming downtown on Saturday on the train. It's meant to be a Mother's Day outing, but I think she wants to go to church on Sunday, so it's been swapped.
It's actually supposed to be pretty chill? She wants to go to my gym's pool and then out for lunch. I'm rarely down here over the weekends, so I'm using it as an excuse to try out a couple of places I've been meaning to check out. She gets three options of restaurant: Pleasant House Pub, La Maliniche, or the Taipei Cafe. Or the Duck Inn. I add the last one as it's in such a weird spot and I've been very interested in trying it out.
One way or another, I'm also aiming to check out the 88 Marketplace. I've been meaning to pop by, but Halsted is way over theeeeeeeeeeeere and sooooooooouth and I am lazy.
I mention any of this because I realized that I'm not actually that hyped for my birthday this year. Usually, I'm bouncing around and making plans or ordering myself a present, but. Eh. IDK. No one really seems to care but me? I even had to plan my own thing with mom (we're going to Morton Arboretum!) because she doesn't actively plan things with me anymore? Just kind of leaves them to me. And a lot of my closer friend group has stuff going on! They are smart, busy people who are genuinely stressed! But, idk. Maybe I'm just feeling a little down about turning 45.
And legitimately, I am fine. I do have Events planned but I don't know. Just feeling the passage of time, I guess.
