Plans

I'm sorry, I can't come over tonight.
I've already got plans.

I'm meeting up with my Grandparents tonight.
Dad's already there. He's been waiting for me to show up,
since the last time we spoke.

I heard my baby cousin is making an appearance.

Which is great news. I was hoping to get to hold her again.

Uncle Steve is probably showing up any minute,
that reckless old fool...

Back together again.
The holidays are perfect for this sort of thing.

I can't talk long. I have to finish,
getting ready for the trip.

The meat is tender, and easy to cut.

This is easier than I thought it'd be.

Now I'm laying out the red carpet,
watching with satisfaction as it unravels,
toward the drain.

The prep is almost done. I'll get to rest soon.

Soon we'll be back together again.
The holidays are perfect for this sort of thing.
