"Soft Conflict"

How do you classify the events in your life?

The most recent classification I was presented, requested of me to indicate whether an event or occurrence in my calendar was negotiable (soft conflict) or non-negotiable (hard conflict--- There are so many jokes in my head regarding this last one that I need to pause for a few seconds.)

After a family discussion, I went on and marked my dad's 70th birthday as a soft conflict. Why? I will never know. 

I seemed to have a harder time with this than my dad did, and it was his birthday, but still.

We managed to celebrate together a few days ago, when 50 degrees of temperature didn't separate us. But the official day is TODAY.

So... ¡FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS, PAPIIIII!

Yaaaaayyyyy! [BALLOONS] [CONFETTI] [CAKE] [HUGS] [KISSES] [GIFT]

I managed to be part of the reprised celebrations thanks to wonderful Skype. 

You will recognize me as the only one in the picture whose face is trapped inside a square.

Well, no one can say I was not there :)
