Kimi and I would normally celebrate my birthday by going out tonight, but she won’t be home; instead, her back surgery is today (right now, in fact), and she’ll be at El Camino Hospital tonight.

We had a nice pre-birthday dinner last night instead (with John, Yvonne, and Logan as our guests) where she made all of my favorites: Artichokes, garlic new potatoes, baked brie, chilled cracked crab (a little late in the season but still nice), plus some salad and chicken for Sammy. Thanks sweetie!

She then fretted all night instead of sleeping, and prepared weeks of meals for Sophie and organized everything she could get her hands on. A little nervous about the surgery? I think so.

Tonight it’s just me and the kids, but I’m thinking about taking us all out for sushi. I’m distracted by Kimi’s surgery and hoping she gets through it and the recovery okay (six weeks of no lifting).

In other news, the kids are settling in well (getting up nice and early in the morning, making it easier to get them dropped off at school and me to work on time), and in even better news, my back is no longer sore from moving.

My brother Rob was just chatting with me:

Robert: How old are you now? I can’t keep track, it keeps changing each year

Stephen: heh
41

Robert: Stop it

Stephen: Er
38?

Robert: Each time you get older, you drag me with you

Stephen: I’ll put it in reverse then

Robert: I don’t want to follow you down this path
thank you, yes reverse will work quite nicely

Stephen: Or just kill yourself now and stop the wrinkles before they begin
