My annual christmas migrane started at 8:39 this morning. A little later than most years, but with more intensity this time.
I dont know what Ive done or how Ive done it, but Ive got my whole family mad at me. And Joels whole family. My family has this wonderful christmas day planned, and they seem to be taking christmas very seriously this year. Its our first christmas without Grandad, and its also my 30th birthday, so perhaps this could explain their seriousness. I had told my family I would spend the day with them, and they seemed content with that... until I spoke to Joel's family.
Somehow I was led to believe that Joel's family wasnt doing christmas this year. And it was this declaration that made me have a near mental breakdown last week, and made me incredibly upset. As it turns out, I was given false information. Yes, they are not celebrating christmas this year... but they have a huge birthday dinner planned for me at their house, on christmas day.
When I spoke to Joel's family and told them that I already have plans on christmas night, both Joels mother and sister broke into tears. Apparently this dinner means alot to them. So I told them I would do my best to work it out with my family, as I was sure they would be understanding.
My migrane started this morning after I spoke to my Nana on the phone. She is absolutely not pleased that I wont be celebrating my birthday with my family. She said that Joel's family should have consulted them before making these plans. I was expecting my family to be all understanding of this, but apparently I am wrong. So as of this morning I have not only Joel's family very upset with me, but I have my family upset at Joel's family, and probably a little angry at me as well. My problem hasnt been solved, but in fact has become more of a problem.
And this whole situation is so messed up. I hate having to spend my birthday worrying about the emotions of other people. Im telling you, next year I am not going home for christmas. I think I might be in Bali, or Detroit, or Tegucigalpa, or Denny's on Hastings Street getting my free birthday meal. Anywhere but home.
