Just came back from a nice vacation. Issue I'm seeing is that it was really nice weather there, and the second we come back here, it's storming. It doesn't help that my sister was screaming her head off because she hates lightning...

We went to the beach a few times, which was cool. The bead stores that I usually go to were closed down, so we found this nice secondhand bookstore. (+4 to our Hardy Boys book collection ) My grandmother isn't donig too good, which just made me all depressed. It got worse when my brother asked my grandfather "What kind of disease does Grandma have?" I wanted to drag him out of the room for saying that. She was well enough to eat dinner with us, but it's still depressing that she can't move around without being in pain.

My other relatives are doing okay. A cousin of ours got engaged a month ago, and we just found out. And my sister didn't try to beat up my cousin in the end, which surprised me.

Now to go through all the messages and deviations...
