home sweet home?
Sep. 19th, 2003 05:01 pmits startling how much being here does not feel like being at home
i made very good time here last night.
left boston at a few minutes before 3, after success in 3 out of 4 errands, and made it here at 7, after taking
goat to her house.
i'd expected to get stuck in traffic and isabel, so i gave my parents an estimate of 8:30 for my arrival, to make sure they wouldn't worry if/when said delays happened - getting there at 7 surprised my stepdad and my sisters.
abi loves my hair : )
she touches it whenever she can, tries to make it into ponytails, and sits very close to me and on my lap a lot : )
unfortunately, i'm working from home today, and without really asking, my mom left me to babysit for a couple of hours in the morning. i was so put off by it, and being crowded when trying to think/work that i came very close to snapping.
debbie, on the other hand, told me the braids are yucky, which doesn't really surprise me.
'sides, my mom likes them : )
my mom was also super excited to see BM pictures - it was really really cool to show them to her and watch her reactions : )
my stepdad's mom also invited herself over for tonight's dinner when she heard that i'm going to be in town, and called last night to ask me about the trip.
and, i told my mom i'll be going to vegas for thanksgiving, and why, and she just nodded, without any attempt to talk me out the expense *bounce*
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
my moods are starting to rollercoaster again.
i feel the SAD... both in the swings, and in the lack of support netting even when the swings are heading up.
in the spring and summer, just looking outside cheers me up. now, even thinking about the vegas trip isn't really doing it.
