Some family members turned up at home as a surprise for a meal for my birthday this evening. It was lovely as always to see everyone. But I spent a lot of the time having to wander away and have ten minutes to myself.
Not just because it was something I wasnt ready for. But when you’ve got people ten years younger talking about kids and mortgages.
Not knowing if you can get out of bed the next day kind of alienates yourself from the “normal” chats.
