Life is going on.

My arm looks completely better, though it still hurts a little if I push on it. I think my eye looks better too, I haven't taken a good look at it lately. How else can I get hurt?

Anyway, I saw my mom's youngest brother and his family for the second time ever over the weekend. It was nice. The kids are pretty old now, since I saw them about 10 years ago. Melvin is 21 and Lupita is 18, turning 19. It's nice when people are around your age. Watching those little kids gets very tiresome. I made the one little kid cry and his brother joined in. He's into his double digits, he shouldn't be crying about getting a water balloon taken away. Sister yelled at him at one point, which is super scary if you've never seen it before. Lousy side track...

So my mother's family goes like this: My mom, Uncle Ray, Uncle Nelson, Uncle Melvin, Uncle Tito, Uncle Reuben. My mom's mother died giving birth to Melvin. The kids were told someone to the effect of the mother and baby died. Melvin was given to their father's sister. Their father remarried and had two more kids. When everyone was moving up to Jersey they told Melvin that he was their brother. He got upset and didn't talk to the family again until 10 years or so ago.

Pretty wild if you ask me. This was only my second time seeing everyone. Though Lupita was here a couple months ago, I spent most of the time asleep because I was sick. It was nice to see everyone. They're good kids and nice parents. It's always nice to have someone on the puerto rican side that I like, since there are so many that I don't. We're thinking about taking a trip out to Illinois to see them, probably next summer.

This is so poorly written. Thanks for distracting me, work. Gosh!
