Need A Break

Hello Everyone: A very quiet weekend for me. Really, all my weekends have been very quiet since mum died. New statewide restrictions make it even more so. There is something good to be said about the quiet. There's a sense of serenity that comes with it. A feeling that, a moment, all is right with the world. It's surreal thinking, given all the chaos in the world but in my corner of it, all is right for now. Lunch with the family was another good time spent. I do enjoy the plentiful food and seeing my two older nephews but honestly, I think I need a break. I've been spending part of Saturdays with them for nearly five (?!) months and as entertaining as it is, I feel like I need some time to myself. Part of the reason is Sis and her smug self-righteousness. The other part of the reason is I just want to do something else. I'm sure if I said I needed a break, no one would get offended. I don't have to have lunch with them every week, it's a choice I made. Now I'm choosing to take a break. I'm kind of hoping the new restrictions'll put the breaks on the weekly get-togethers. Anyway, it's just about time for bed.
