yeah, i know, not a real update in a while. but honestly, i don't have much to update about.
- my sister decided to associate with me again. after something like two years. we're not exactly all buddy-buddy... and neither one of us has mentioned who did what wrong when... and that's prolly for the best. if we discussed it, she may go off and hide another couple of years.
my mom claims it's because they put her on Prozac. meh, whatever. she seems a little more calm anyway. still loves to scream at our parents though.
- parents, sister and i went to my uncle's last weekend for a family thing. food, grilling, swimming, alcohol... and rain. boy, did it rain. but that's okay because a decent time was still had. i saw my cousin's baby and discovered the baby is 18 months now. he's adorable and so tiny! my kids were huge. i dunno what happened there. no one mentioned my kids or DSS or court or tried to give me unsolicited advice, which was nice.
- the weekend before that we all went to a funeral. my dad's aunt or something. i barely knew the woman. seeing people from my dad's side of the family was nice though. saw my aunt whom i haven't seen for eight or so years. the after-party was at a distant cousin's house... geezus the place was HUGE, in one of them snobbety communities full of
McMansions and expensive cars and impeccable landscaping. the house was full of shiny and expensive things and flat screen plasma tv's and two levels of entertaining areas etc etc. i felt extremely out of place and i was afraid to touch anything or scuff the floors with my boots. though i did play a game of pool with my sister.
- we're (hopefully!) moving the rest of my stuff out of storage tomorrow. it's going to take forever. UGH.
- i'm glad to be closer to downtown, because now it doesn't take me an hour to walk to the places i need.
- saw the gyno and my womanly parts are in perfect working order.
- starting to see the shrink every other week now. there's just no good reason to see her every week. not that much happens to me.
- i love having my own place. i can play with my stuff and re-arrange thing and all. i have a kitchen counter! i have a shower! i have a stove! too bad i don't have more electrical outlets!
