The joy of the internet

[plural]

I like to think of myself as a halfway decent son
but I must confess
I am horrible at remembering things like mothers day
[or fathers day, or most of such days]

Birthdays, Anniversaries
those I am good at
I think because they relate to an individual

personally, I dislike those other days
actually I dislike birthdays too
but they at least make more sense to me

for the most part
I have no clue when such days are scheduled
or if I do, like valentines day
they can easily come and go with my realizing it
because I for the most part function on numbered days
and pay little attention the calendar

but luckily
I have the website that ships flowers
and they bug me with emails for all their "important" sales dates
so today
I took a moment and sent my mother
a bouquet of lillies for mothers day

feel pretty good about it too
