I'm a little bit stuffed up today, I think. I don't know if it's going to come through in the audio,

so I apologize to all listeners. So obviously, you know, we were talking, I think, last time about

Sophia's birthday, right? But we obviously were in our like parenting group, right? The parenting

class groups that we're in means that all the babies were born

within like six to eight weeks from each other.

We've had five birthday parties that we've been to in two weeks.

That's actually, that's really adorable and awesome that you've kept up with all of these folks.

Not all.

Not all, some.

There was like, there was like 15 families in total. And then also

one of my childhood friends, they had their baby in around the same time. So this weekend is,

that birthday party, that first birthday party as well. It is really lovely, but it's, man,

it's tiring. There was one day where we were invited to two parties. Were they concurrent, like on top of each other? Yeah, so we only went to one of them. Oh, sorry for the second tier friend. That party, we were invited to at another party. So, like, they had thought of us until they saw us at the party, which was nice,

because it was like, obviously, they had a good time of us that day and, like, you should come.

But then it was like, they weren't close to each other. And Sophia was having a bit of a day. And so it was like, we're not, we're not going to do this. I hear you. But that's still, I remain impressed and excited that you're keeping up with so many of these families from, you know, a year ago now.

Oh, the reason these things link, by the way, is that the whole, my whole family now, my unit of three, we are all fighting off something.

You know, every day is a challenge for each of us when we're all like on the edge of some kind of bug, you know?

Yeah, yeah. But we're hanging in there.

Well, it's not apples to apples by any stretch, but Richmond has officially entered the pollining.

And I don't know if that's a thing over there.

We have hay fever.

So we're, that's starting too.
