Holy crap, what an awful trip!!! Over 16 hours all told, including sitting on 301 just south of Starke, FL for over an hour anna half due to an accident. When things finally got moving, \*\*FCD \*\*saw 2 cars overturned in the southbound lanes and we’d all been diverted to half of the northbound lanes. Add to that the typical stupidity of SC traffic, and it was a long, horrible drive. Oh yeah, and rain… I’m up way too early, just because. Dunno what’s in store for today. \*\*FCD \*\*has gone back to bed after taking Higgs out, FIL just got up, and I’m still exhausted. ho ho ho Happy Wednesday!! ---

Happy Hump Day! It’s raining. I took off irk today through Firday, I’ll still work some but my hours will be flexible. Trying to schedule everything around my irk hours was just adding to the stress. So my mother calls me yesterday to tell me I need to bring something with me on Christmas. Like she couldn’t have said something sooner, and she has no idea what I should bring. Christmas meals are very simple in our family, usually a breakfast casserole for brunch and then a ham, potato salad, rolls, and a veggie for lunch/dinner. So I have to figure out something to take, and we have to take our own drinks. Then I ask what time to be there and it’s a big **?**. Everybody is supposed to show up around 11:30, but that includes the HFH, and I’m not going to be there at the same time as her (the male half isn’t coming, or so I’ve heard). Then I have to hear how I am killing her by being this way and why can’t the whole family show up and be just one big happy family. So I have no idea what time I am going, and being that it’s a 2 hour drive it’s not like I can just pop in the truck and leave after the HFH leaves. I could go down that way and visit with a friend and wait for the HFH to leave - my friend won’t mind, but I’ll have the dog with me and I don’t know how that will go with her dog and cat. Then she tells me my aunt and uncle are coming over as well. I love my uncle to death, he has always been great fun to be around. My aunt used to be my favorite aunt, but for some reason about 10 years ago she stopped talking to me. If I say hi she turns her head away and ignores me. At a wedding reception she was looking in my direction and waving, patting the chair next to her. When I walked over she yelled at me to get away from her, and said she was saving that chair for another aunt. I have no idea what I ever said or did to her, At first I was hurt, but now I just look at her and think she needs to grow up and stop acting like a spoiled brat. Being rude like that at the reception, well she can kiss my ass. I’m not in the mood to put up with childish bullshit, even if she is my aunt and I’m supposed to respect her as my elder. If it wasn’t for all the presents I have sitting here, I’d just skip the whore ordeal. I’m really thinking of going tomorrow, dropping everything off, and coming back home. Sah-son doesn’t care one way or the other. Sorry your trip was so bad **FCM** , glad you made it safely. {{{ **Butters** }}} Missed ya **Midget** Nice pole **Doggio** ---

> [@kopek](#): > > Our shipping center got a heads-up from the FCs that tomorrow could be over 250k so I am doing a double. Some special shipping deal and discounts from Headquarters. I am either dedicated or nucking futs. Opinions from those outside the vegetable kingdom would not be objected to. Doesn’t exactly seem to be an either/or choice. Could be both. 😃 My major plan for the day involves impersonating a houseplant. 🙂 ---
