I encouraged you not to overdo social commitments.

I somehow ended up planning a home open, a first birthday, a friends gathering and a family Sunday lunch and I don’t know how it happened. People pleasing happened.

Easter Monday is going to be protected for preparing for the week and recharging social batteries and watching Disney movies. sigh.
