T minus 18 hours...

What is it about the holidays that ends up bringing out the worst in people? I do have to admit my Thanksgiving experience thus far has not been bad. But when BLuR picks me up at work after a 1.5 hour battle with traffic, and actually has me drive home because he is so tired, and he LAUGHED when I told him I had to go to the store, I have to wonder. The store was fine, actually. Except for the employee who was explaining to this woman where to find the cheese. She sounded like she'd never been in a grocery store before. The woman, not the employee, who by virtue of his employment (and his uniform) had indeed been in the store before.

I called Mom today to ask how she felt about my visiting the first week in January. She said it was fine. Something is starting to feel a bit detached about the family. I think we're all just not communicating, and that's not good for us. Not that our communication is healthy. But I look at how I never gave my niece a birthday present this year, which is unlike me, and then I think, well her mom is a bitch, so it serves her right, but that's not really fair either. It's amazing how being separated from them has really meant that I'm growing in a totally different direction.

Since I'm peppering my entry with too many adverbs, I'm going to game now.
