Today I was told that that in three weeks, on the 13th, we're having a family day. That isn't good news for me. It's already a stressful time for me, being a super introvert and having to be social during the holidays. Some time in summer my mother told me they wanted to do this, but I hadn't heard anything more about it, so it slipped my mind.
It's unclear in my uncle's children (THE uncle) are coming. They wanted to a while ago, but now they're very vague about it. I hope they aren't coming; last time I was very annoyed by their behaviour. Ordering more expensive things because they didn't have to pay for it (fully) and mostly interacting with one another and not with the rest of the family.
To top it off they've decided to go somewhere where my cousin's kids can play, so we're meeting at some indoor play center. Pretty much my idea of hell; noisy, a lot of children, lots of other people. In other words it'll be a high social anxiety situation for me.
One positive thing: the day after I'm going on my annual reading retreat. I will be bringing my Kindle with me, hopefully I can sneak off for a little while to charge my batteries.
