On the morning of my birthday we're all going out for an early birthday lunch with my grandpa, sister, and pops. It's gotta be in the morning because of my sisters work schedule. The afternoon I might make my birthday cake if my sister doesn't make it the night before. I'll have to make an early dinner and get ready. Once my cousin gets off of work he's picking me up so I can camp overnight at his place.

The next morning we're going to pick up his girlfriend then drive all the way up to northern Washington to pick up my sister and her daughter then bring them down for a party. At his sisters place we're going to have dinner with the family then head out for karaoke. I might go home after that or I might spend the night at her place. I'm not sure. I was invited to stay but I'm not sure if I will.

Pops got wind of this and I guess he invited himself or he thought his invitation was implied. I'm not sure which it was, but he assumed he could go too. There are some personal problems so he CAN go but it would make things very complicated. He's been home for almost a year and the changes are getting annoying. Every little detail for family events has to be planned to accommodate him or he has to be left out. It's not that he wants so much hassle. It's just the way things are. That's why we're all going out to lunch on my birthday. This way he can still celebrate but we don't have to do all this extra planning on his account.
