I've been spending a lot of time with TheGirl. To the point that I've pretty much disappeared from home. I'm basically home to sleep, shower, and eat. And sometimes not even to sleep.

My aunt asked me what day was best for the family to come over and celebrate my upcoming birthday. I said to her, "I'll check my schedule." That was supposed to be code for, "don't hold your breath." But yeah, I have to step back a little and not be such a ghost to my family and friends.
