I am flying up north in a couple of weeks to celebrate my mom's 70th b-day. It will be 5 days with my family, or a large part anyway. I am really looking forward to seeing my brother, his wife, and daughter, who I haven't seen in over three years. I am even happier about finally seeing my sister, and her hubby, who I haven't seen in almost 5 years. I am not so excited about seeing my mom, who bullied us kids into this, because she is feeling slighted because there was a big celebraton for my dad's 60th, many years back. She scheduled it in mid Sept, despite her b-day being in mid June. It just happens to be over the weekend of my dad's b-day, which will annoy him, and also is the weekend just after my daughter's b-day, and she is bummed I must be away.
I don't like tofly anymore, so am stressed about that whole ordeal, especially the not being able to smoke for about 6 hours. I am also stressd about being forced ito stayinat a non-smking b&b which is just some old house, so the rooms share a bathroom. I don't like being away from hoe, and hate being separated from my computer, and instant net access. Oh well, I can take lot's of photos with any luck, and will have that to console myself with.
