Job, this is interesting observation about my H waiting for the last moment. I’m pretty sure that none of my family sent him Happy Thanksgiving before he did it. He pretty much removed himself from our lives, so I don’t think anybody thought of contacting him. But, they all replied to his text. I don’t know if my BIL told him that we were coming to his house for dinner. It is funny how they just don’t communicate much with each other besides the football. I’m pretty sure that H spent the holiday by himself, I’ve seen his expenses for last week and it looks like he just went to a restaurant.

I don’t know if he is still on Mars or not. My friends here told me that he called and said that he is not sure when he is going to finish his work there and move to the vacation home for the winter. It seems like he thinks he needs to keep working because he hasn’t made enough money. So, he might come to the vacation home for Christmas, but he would have to go back to work. Welcome to the reality…

It seems like my BIL really wanted to get his “family fix” with all of us, since he doesn’t have his own family. And we do seem more stable as a family compared to H’s family.

I’m actually feeling sad right now. I had such a good time in my vacation home in the last few months when I could come here any time I wanted. Now, I have to coordinate with H and it makes me uneasy. I don’t really want to stay in the same condo with him. It is interesting, because I was willing to do it last year and it didn’t seem a big deal to me. He moved out every time I came over. This year, I feel that I need him to move out, so I could fully relax and enjoy my time. I don’t know why I feel this now.
