That's a good point. I also don't read as much as I feel I should (well, aside from news articles and doomscrolling Facebook, bluesky, etc.). But I think it's partly because I read all day for my job.

Jersey, I hope you still enjoy the cookout. Hopefully, others will be interacting with the kids, too (I imagine the 10-month-old, at least). And I don't think it's bad that you don't feel like interacting with them.

I mean...in my case, it's not my job, but that I'm a parent, so am around a kid much of the time at home. And I don't necessarily feel like hanging out with other people's kids. (Though honestly, I've never really been a baby or a little kid person, so...)
