it's good, very good, actually to be back in dallas with the entire family. however, there is something about this collection of people that makes me sad for some reason.
i think part of it is watching my parents age. actually, that's a big part of it. i feel like they're slipping away, and that is a hell of a futile feeling to have.
anyways, it's all about health with the chang's. one minute, they're touting the virtues of brown rice, then, they're bashing milk, and then, they're force feeding me bottled water. you might think that we're a family of hypochondriacs or something!
i wish i could stay longer (much longer) than the two measly days i have left, for both me (i want to get away from work) and my family (i think being together is immensely therapeutic, especially my mom). poor mom still has a lot of medical issues to resolve, and in the meantime, she's just very uncomfortable all the time. *RAAR* it fucking depresses me.
anyways, it's my birthday, and nothing special happened today. we had a home-cooked meal, sans cake. which is fine by me, because i don't like cake. hehe :)
i just wish for the best for my family. which is a natural thing anyone would say, but this time, there is an element of worry and anxiety around that statement.
sigh.
anyways, hope you people had a tryptophan-overdosing time, and be happy that my cowboys finally won a game. toodles.
