…despite not feeling particularly “Sassy” that evening.

I’m only sleeping

When mom had to leave the house at 6:30am for an unusually early meeting, dad drew the “(don’t foolishly rely on this again anytime in the near future) lucky card” and got a sleeping Des for 45min while getting ready

And while mom was treating dad to a stellar 34th birthday dinner, followed by a Lagavulin 16 single malt scotch, Des was napping at Ma & Pa’s house
