I spent most of my late afternoon and evening trying to write this post! This afternoon ,
and I went out for sushi and took a relaxing walk to Universe Games to purchase a specific Magic the Gathering card. Afterwards, I dropped
off at Caffetto so he could hang out with
because today is his birthday! 🎉
I had planned on taking , my nieces and nephew to a park to enjoy the day, but there wasn't enough time. Instead, we made a thirty minute drive to my sister's house so the kids could hang out and play. I thought my biggest obstacle would be with the four younger brats but no, it was my phone going off with calls and text messages.
🤔 Strange how my phone goes off when I least expect it.
I spent most of my time doing a bunch of random things.
My first task was helping my sister-in-law's mother send text messages to inform multiple people about an upcoming event that she was hosting. She wanted me to take a 'nice' photo of the invitation. She did not want to actually mail it to her guests because technology was so much faster. I asked if we should make a Facebook event instead but she declined, saying that a quick phone call after sending the image invites would give it a sweet personal touch. I did what she asked since I've got an unlimited amount of patience.
I ended up downloading the Scannable App, which basically turns your phone into a scanner when launched. While I was in the middle of explaining to her how texting works- my phone starts buzzing with messages. I was having a hard enough time understanding her words because of her regional accent and I wasn't going to break my concentration now. I had to flip my phone over to fight the temptation since it's also extremely rude to ignore an elder family member.

It took me a few tries to record the audio but I ended up finding a quiet area outside on the front steps. I could hear baby talk in my first few recordings but they were too adorable to be frustrated over!
The day ended well enough. I got to hang out with family, the kids were well behaved and I eventually responded back to all the people who were blowing up my phone. Yep, a very successful day.
Thanks for checking out these sketches and another one of my videos!! 🦊
