Been a while since I've written anything on here, so here's an update.Parents went on a trip to Orlando, Florida for a CHADD conference.Saw two of my psycologists on the plane(I miss them...).Spent time with my dear brother, who I miss so damn much.He's lost weight and he looks good.Almost bald, but hey, it's up to him what to do with his hair.I got to talk to him too and he sounds well.As for me, had to spend one day with my stepgrandmother.Like usual, over to the monastery we go to have lunch with a nun and two priests.The lunch was delicious.Rice with various kinds of seafood, egg soup and tres leche for dessert.Then naptime for everyone and to finish it all off, let's start discussing whether the Virgin Mary had a sister.Don't know how that discussion ended...Spent the rest of the time with my sister's family.I have nothing against her and all, but her husband makes me uncomfortable.Since I stayed awake with the adults way after the kids went to sleep, he kept offering me alcoholic beverages.I have no taste for alcohol, so of course I don't particularly enjoy being pestered with different kinds of alcohol.I've never liked the guy, so that didn't help much.I seem to be close to becoming a dogsitter.Had to keep an eye on both of my sister's dogs while the kids were at school and she was out having fun with her husband.They looooove to treat me like a pillow, those two.Then off to Rio Mar, where my other godfather has his house.Pretty big house.Not to my liking though.When we got there and I was on my way to drop my things in the room, I saw a man in a bed.Thought "Some other guy's going to be here with us?" Later I found out that it was Erik, my brother-in-law's older brother.Poor guy was a "Blue Baby" if I got it right and he can't do anything besides lying in a bed and watch tv all day.Plus, he gets seizures every now and then...Suffered two yesterday.One in the morning and another at noon.Everyone else was at the table, talking about whatever(I was on a couch near the front door) and suddenly, somebody started screaming and my brother-in-law's friend asked "What's that noise?", to which he responded "That's just Erik having a seizure." and back to the conversation they went.I feel really bad for Erik...I was really freaked out when I heard his screams.-sigh-Anyways, about the dogsitter business, besides Sammy and Rocko, my sister's dogs, I also had to keep an eye on the 3 other dogs.All Yorkshire Terries, but damn, do they stink!They pee and poop wherever the hell they please.I had to watch where I stepped just to avoid the puddles of urine all over the house.Someone get those dogs potty-trained or something!And in the meantime, get Polo or whatever the dog's name is...TO QUIT STALKING ME!God, he had to be constantly following me all over the house.I couldn't even take a nap without him scratching at the door, whining and panting just so I would come out and give him affection.I'm glad I'm back home.I want my dog Evy.She isn't so problematic and she doesn't bark much unless she has to.Now, back to enjoying my souvenirs!
