elvendollin my family, there's a lot of significance placed on doing favors for one another. if you're asked to do something, it becomes an obligation at the top of your priority list.
it hits my mom the worst - she works from 3pm on, so she's handed down errands from a lot of the family, which she just can't refuse to do.
i have the worst time incorporating this into my life. i love my family, but sometimes, the things they ask just don't land high enough on my priority list.
last week, my mom asked me to check ebay for ice skates for debbie.
i haven't yet, and by now, they'll never get here before the trip to vermont.
and my mom has been distant/coldish to me. and i can't figure out if the two are related, or if its just the amount of stress she's been under : /
this is the week of jumbled up plans. dinner with her rescheduled, dinner and lunch with him and her, respectively, cancelled. nothing big at all, just ironic in light of how carefully i was trying to plan my week.
and there's an outing i want to organize for this weekend and i'm totally dropping the ball on it.
next week seems surreal.
i so have my fingers crossed for getting Friday off, though the chances aren't in my favor.
the idea of spending a few days with my rents up in vermont sounds really good. i kinda wish i could go up there Tuesday night and have a night there on my own, but that's not an option.
the week after that - can't begin to focus on it.
NYE will be grand, though.
ugh. need to reboot.
