So tomorrow my niece is going to be born. She's missed her due date so they're gonna go forward with forcing her out. I take it she's got the procrastination spirit like me. Anyway, my mom texted me asking if I wanted to be there for when she's born. I'm not entirely sure I want to make the drive over. Putting aside the fact that the comic would be delayed (again), that would mean having to brave through DFW traffic, which will result in it taking an hour and change to get to the hospital. Not something I look particularly forward to when just getting off from work. But at the same time I like the idea of me one day telling her "Yeah, I was there when you were born. I was playing Donkey Kong."
In a way it feels selfish because the only reason I'd be going is just to make a stupid anecdote and you guys having to wait longer for the finished page. But I also don't like the idea of driving the long distance for what will more than likely be a boring time on my part until the very end of it, only to go "Hi baby! Okay I'm going home!" Again feeling selfish except directed at my family. But then if I don't go then I'd be selfish for not being there for my sister. There's no winning this mental gymnastics game.
In other news I hit my 7 year old weight loss goal, so that's cool I guess!

The comic can wait. A birth is a once in a lifetime event. Better to go and delay the comic, I vote.
