We are home from vacation finally! I had some fun but I am so relieved to be back at my home base with no one but RS and my son around. I was upset this morning and I couldn’t shake it for a couple of hours but once we got to the bridge and tunnels I was ok. I am just not a beach girl. I suggested we should go up to upstate New York near the Adirondacks one year. I used to go to a lake there when I was very little with my family while my dad was alive. It’s one of my few good memories.

I texted my mom real quick to let her know we were home and she said she was on her way to my uncle’s and then going to stay overnight at my grandma’s. My mother hates her brother so I’m wondering if his mystery illness is getting worse. Unless they’re having a bbq, they used to. My uncle’s birthday is the sixth so maybe that’s all it is. But I’m not going to ask because a) I don’t like my uncle anyway and b) if everyone wants to continue to be secretive and passive aggressive they can go for it but I’m not getting involved anymore.

Personally I think 45 years of heavy drinking is catching up with my uncle but I could be totally wrong. But I’ll probably never know because he won’t even tell his wife so whatever.
