Random thoughts

Whirlwind

I'm getting caught up in so many things. My father and my grandmother are in town, so I'm busy spending time with them, seeing to it that they're comfortable and that they're having a good time. It's hard though because I work during the week, and they have nothing to do back home. I try to coax my dad out after work sometimes to ride our bikes, but he's usually too busy watching TV or doing cryptograms. Oh well. Maybe on Saturday we can go down to the beach.

On top of that, I don't get to hang out with other people as much as I'd like to. I haven't seen Marc since Monday, and that's a long time, considering how often we would spend time with each other before.

Also, I haven't been able to plan anything with friends, and even when I start to plan something, I immediately feel bad for thinking of spending time away from my family while they're here visiting.

After my birthday though, they plan to fly off somewhere, so I'll probably be able to get some alone time. Don't get me wrong, I love having them here -- sometimes it just feels like too much of my life is on pause while they are.
