Ok- so it's mostly just a tropical storm, but being mostly trapped indoors might be its own little force of nature.
It's been interesting vacationing with a family that is only mine by marriage. I am completely used to my own family's craziness and ticks. Not that they don't bother me, but at least I know what to expect. Being with another family has been a...different experience. Usually, I only spend a couple hours all year with J's fam--right around Christmas. 24-7 for a whole week drudges up past wrongs, hurt feelings, and prejudices that remain unspoken but continue to simmer below the surface.
Mix that all together with the child from hell-- a 7 year old that is one of J's aunt's partner's grandkids--and you have yourself a certifiable time.
And now it's raining-- crazy hard raining.
I just want to go to the beach and sit in the sun and listen to the surf.
Drat.
