Friday dinner...

11 April 2025: It's been a long week with lots of sadness and worry (along with lots of very bright spots). Today was especially wearying, so it was actually good timing to have dinner with my parents, who are in town for a few days. I tend to be kind of taciturn and reticent with them, but I just sort told myself to make it a nice evening and we talked for a lot longer than usual, about things we don't usually talk about. Nothing dire or too serious, but it was nice and I'm glad.
