First "Deal-with-the-Parents Weekend" since September
and escape plans are being made.
Tomorrow shouldn't be too bad: my mom's not as bad as my dad, and we're going shopping for winter stuff and Christmas gifts (which I'll just go along with at this point, even though I have to deadname myself or get questions about my "nickname") without him coming along. I'm getting new snow boots and a winter coat, which should prove useful.
But now that there's even a possibility of there only being a couple more years of this...it messes with my brain a bit. That was a dream since somewhere around third grade, possibly earlier: just get away from Massachusetts on the whole because people know me for a wide variety of things, and sometimes that's a bit much when they don't actually know me, just their idea of me. It's not as bad as it once was, but I still planned to move as soon as I could manage, expecting that to be my mid-30s at the earliest. All of a sudden, it may be just after graduating college, which is perhaps the most terrifying thing in quite a while for me but also has made me smile anytime I've thought of it for the past day, which was not something I expected to be doing at all this weekend. So thanks for that to anyone who knows anything about what I'm saying, and thanks to everyone else because it's the time to give thanks and I figure I probably owe some at this point.
