I went to visit my in-laws over the weekend and had a lot of fun, but I am totally spent. Supervising a busy toddler in an only partially baby-proofed space is exhausting.

Trigger for upsetting medical stuff about my uncle (mom's brother) who is in the hospital:


My mom is there and she didn't tell me any of this was happening, even though she knows my uncle and I are fairly close. I think she wanted to "show" me that I do need her after all even though we aren't in regular contact anymore. What a messed up time to do that.

Next weekend I'm going to drive back to my home state for the first time in almost three years to visit. It'll also be the first time that I go by myself (sans wife) in over nine years. Should be interesting...
