| Current mood: allergic Subject: thanksgiving and my family |
|
| thanksgiving was only semi-disastrous no it was actually quite lovely with the occasional akwardness and badness. it was me, mom, dad, my grandpa (dads), grandpas wife, step-grandma's son and his two children, and my dads brother, and oliver the dog, who scared the shit out of my cat i felt so bad for her :( i had to say grace. i sounded like a flaming idiot i was like "um well we should appreciate that we have the ability to have food" yikes! food was great, company was surprisingly good. but i felt so bad for my mom because my step-grandma, uncle, and step-uncle and her had a convo about like war and france and all of that and my mom is a major pacifist and theyre not and they were being so mean i tried to defend her but i was like wheres brig when i need her?? sigh, then theres my grandpa. he has prostate cancer thats spread to his bones, and parkinsins disease. he just got the house and layed on the couch with blankets the whole time. hes only 67 too. its so sad. it goes to show you how important your health is. he had so much life...he was a painter, he loved to gamble, travel, go to the track, play tennis, and he has a lot of money..that gives you a great 20 years, but once he lost his health none of that mattered. he was kayacking this past summer, i cant imagine what he'd be doing if he were healthy. but im stopping this is sad. then my neighbors came over after dinner for drinks and we sat outside in front of the fire..it was was really nice. my dads side is so disfunctional though...those damn guineas. not disfunctional like my moms side which is screaming at eachother and being really weird..disfunctional like they beat eachother up at family gatherings and threaten to kill eachother...luckily thanksgiving didnt turn out like that. and tomorrow i have to see my grandmother who contributes much to the disfunction. but thats a whole other story. id say: successful turkey day...sure beats being at my aunts house in miami with 70 people i dont know (uncle is irish has 7 siblings..u get the picture) sorry this was so long--blame my family for having a lot of problems ADVENT 2 DAYS! ciao<3 |
