darchildreMy weekend:
- My sister came over for the long weekend which has been both fun and extremely frustrating. (When Megan is in a good mood, she can be a lot of fun to hang out with! When she's not, for any reason, she is a nightmare.)
- We took a little two-day roadtrip down to Portland and poked around in a lot of little antique shops and craft stores. I bought myself a new hat and a vintage hankie with a very pretty pattern.
- Unfortunately, we learned sort of once and for all that Megan is the worst person to take on a roadtrip. She doesn't like to do the kinds of things that the rest of us enjoy, which is completely fine, but when asked for ideas about what she would like to do, she provides no alternatives. (Because, it turns out, she doesn't much like to do anything outside of either her or our house. Again fine, but maybe say that before agreeing to go on a roadtrip?) And because Megan has always been someone whose basic life philosophy is "I am feel uncomfortable when we are not about me?" she can't take enjoyment from doing something someone else likes and entering into their enthusiasm. So she's very clear that she's not having a good time and that it's your fault and she's going to be as unpleasant as possible. I can ignore her but it makes my Mom really upset.
- And then I closed my phone in the car door while it was in my coat pocket and now it no longer works and I have to replace it. Extremely frustrating.
I had a good time, generally, but I think this weekend was basically a net loss.
