When I climb into bed, I get a text from my sister-in-law. She says my niece is playing in a school concert, and we can watch it live. If they had told me my niece played an instrument, I completely forgot.
I wanted to watch on my phone. I really did. But when I got my text, I was really, really tired. So I set the phone off to the side and shut my eyes with the promise that, if I woke up by the time the concert started, which was about less than a half-hour after I got the text, I would watch.
I think I set my phone aside and shut my eyes at around 5:45. I woke up, totally serious, at 10:15. I was hoping the Vimeo had a "Watch from the beginning" feature, but it doesn't. So I missed my niece's concert because I was tired af. I know I need to make a more concerted effort to be present for her events ... but dammit, I was tired. And probably a bad uncle, too.
I texted my sister-in-law to see if I can see a replay of it online. Hope so. Hope she's still talking to me.
