i spent my afternoon in a giant warehouse filled with enormous bouncy-castle things and screaming children. i as an adult was not allowed to go on the bouncy castle things but that’s cool i didn’t really want to. however i as a person in the room was not allowed to have shoes on and that was mostly ok except then i had to use the restroom and it sort of did my head in to use a public restroom without shoes on. and then i kept absent-mindedly looking for my shoes because i’m the sort of person who sometimes takes my shoes off at work and such, but like, you gotta put your shoes on if you’re gonna go out on the sales floor or to the bathroom or something, and-- anyway. i spent a lot of time absent-mindedly looking for my shoes.

it was a fifth birthday party. it was a good time. i wore a tiara. nobody else had a tiara. the other adults probably mostly thought i was weird. (parents of the child’s friends, since the child is now old enough to have friends who are not friends of his parents.) it’s cool everyone who knew me figured the tiara was about par for the course.

my bestie’s little sister has a new baby, who is adopted, since she (the sister) almost died of cancer and so has been barred from having any more babies. (she’s fine now, just-- no more babies.) her husband is mexican, and their other daughter is therefore (as one would expect) half-mexican. this new baby is also mexican, and would fit in pretty seamlessly with the family except that she is this magnificent enormous chubby full-term baby, unlike all the other babies in this family. i sort of think no baby in this family has ever been full-term. so at four months she is this magnificent enormous creature, healthy and easygoing and chubby-cheeked and with this head of magnificent spiky black hair that stands up in a crown around her face. she’s just so big and so beautiful. she looks nothing like her adopted sister. She is so adorable and sweet, we all had a lovely time cooing at her. she’ll probably look more like her sister when she grows up a little, but even if she doesn’t, she’s so magnificent, i look forward to watching her grow up. (and while the babies in this family tend to be born early and tiny, they also tend to grow up into relative behemoths, so it’s not like she won’t fit in if she winds up being magnificent her entire life.)

The toddlers and small children are utterly delighted by this baby, so that’s been fun to watch.

for some reason i feel like typing in all lower-case is making this quieter, that’s why i’m not capitalizing things properly. i should really log off the internet, though, dude is asleep. (how can he fall asleep when i got the light on and am typing and this is a double bed. how can he do that. he is snoring. i can’t-- who can live like that? i don’t know. being able to sleep through anything would be a keen superpower to have but my combo Fear Of Missing Out and Guilt At Being Caught Asleep would never let me. Oops shhh i capitalized those out loud, i shouldn’t have done that. ... i don’t even know anymore. goodnight.)
