Oldest Brother picked me up, and after a stop for stuff, including my prescriptions, at Rite Aid, we went to Applebee's in Bellmore where we met up with John, Denise, Aunt Helen and Brianne. Had a tasty, fun, conversation filled meal there, and then went back to their place, stopping on the way to get a Carvel cake.
The Kid showed up just when she said she would, so we saved having the cake til then. Much conversation and stuff, and then presents.
Stayed talking for a very long time, then Oldest Brother brought me home. Now making arrangements for tomorrow.
Had a very good pre-birthday. The best part was seeing The Kid.
