She was a hit!

One of his mates had been pestering him for weeks to "have a smoke with your parents". We were shooed out of the way largely but later, as they got more tipsy, we got summoned to have a smoke. Matey was very amused and it was hilarious (I was hilarious) for about 20 minutes and then it felt awkward so we ran away. The kids wanted us to stay but having me holding court was not the takeaway you really want from your 18th birthday party really, so we kept it to a stoned cameo.

When the guests left I got to DJ the after party in person.

All in all a success ❤️

Good luck with that. Not sure calm down is ever an option with our lovely Ben.

Damage limitation is probably the best hope.

Ain't that the truth.

I think it was Confucius who said

"I'm a bitch,
I'm a lover,
I'm a child,
I'm a mother,
I'm a sinner,
I'm a saint..."

Thank you. I'll be good, it's just weird, I never get used to it somehow.

Yes, that was kind of my point, but what I'm saying is at 50+ I accept that, whereas at 20 I wasn't as well prepared for it.

Thank you. It's all I can do generally.

I'm not complaining, merely reflecting on the many emotional inputs I have, day to day.

Without being too heavy, some of us are celebrating and some of us are, literally, praying. I find myself doing both, not infrequently. This is life, as you get older it just becomes more pronounced.

I might go as far as a strongly worded, but professional and annonymised, LinkedIn post.

As I grow older, I realise how your capacity to carry mental burdens can grow.

This week I've tried my best to arrange an 18th birthday party for my youngest, every detail, though modest, has had to be on point. I have an older child, struggling and far from home at the same time. I have an employee who I am close to, who is suddenly going through a nightmarish, life changing medical situation with their partner. Work is a nightmare, filled with online meetings where I have to appear confident and in control. There's lots more but it's boring, just pressure.

The point being, I just trudge on. I'm not a hero, I do my best. My heart aches for those in need and I do what I can to help.

It just strikes me, that if I was 30 years younger this would break me, and now it's just Thursday.
