Can I take a vacation from my family?
Before work today we had a meeting/seminar thing. I'm always interested to see how coworkers dress when they're not in uniform. One of my coworkers had his cross necklace out, a hat that said "Got Jesus?" and a shirt that said "A blood donor saved my life". I was trying to decide whether it would be rude to ask him why he had needed blood, before I noticed the cross on the shirt and realised that the "blood donor" is a reference to Jesus.
Now I can't stop wondering how many religious shirts does he have? Does he always wear that much religion? Most religious people I've known wear one piece of jewelery signifying their faith and that's it. It seems really excessive to me to be wearing that many things declaring your religion, like it is the single most important aspect of your personality and no one should ever not know what you believe in.
In other news, I can't stop worrying. About the wedding, about my car, about everything. I keep feeling like I'm about to burst into tears or something. Also, my Granny is driving me insane. We live in her basement, see her at least once a day. But she feels the need to tell my Mom that Justin doesn't take out the recycling often enough, or he does some random thing wrong when he takes out the garbage. Then my Mom tells me, and I have to tell Justin. She couldn't just say "Tomorrow is garbage day, don't forget the recycling", that's not what my family does. We play the telephone game with important messages and make sure to send them through at least one extra person, as though we're all twelve. "Suzy says she doesn't want to talk to you" It is so annoying!
