Not the movie. My life these past few days, along with other stuffs as well, and it isn’t over yet. It’s amazing how in a few seconds, everything changes completely, from the slow lane to the fast track. One second, I was lying on the couch, watching a movie and the other, I was moving from place to place, with my bag of clothes and laptop as company.

While I really have fun during this holiday from the holidays, I must admit, there’s no better place than home, especially my room. I literally dropped dead as soon as I came home on Tuesday, because I was so tired. My 4 year-old niece can be a real brat sometimes, and it doesn’t help she is pampered by everyone, being the youngest one of the family, and the only one from her generation… I wonder what she is going to do when my nephew is going to be born in June. It could be a niece as well, of course, but… we really are rooting for a baby boy this time, it gets tiring to only see girls in the family.

On the bright side, I managed to spend with my cousins… niece, brothers-in-law, aunts, uncles… friends… that sure makes a lot of people. Well, I do have a really big family and it’s getting bigger, with all those weddings. Is it the wedding season or what? Everyone single person in the family is getting married, one after the other, even those sworn to celibacy. I’m starting to think it’s going to be my turn soon if I don’t get away from here quickly… since there already were weird women looking at me… weirdly… at the yearly reunion organised near uncle’s place, famous for the wedding proposals my cousins get each year. I’m so glad I managed to escape…

I had to return home early, on Tuesday, because my mother needed me for some stuff; secretly, I was thanking God for this miracle, else I’d still be here, trying to cope with all those people. I like it when it’s quiet, after all I’m used to staying alone, which might be why after some time, I started feeling uneasy. I had to share a bed with my cousin, who spends half the night talking to her fiancé and whose mattress was so thin that I would get backaches everyday. I was going crazy; it was like I developed some sleep disorder; I started talking in my sleep, getting nightmares and I would wake up really early, even if I went to bed really late, at night. Glad to see the problem is over, or at least, I think it is.

As I said, these hectic days aren’t over yet. Tomorrow is yet another busy day, with 2 weddings and the funeral. My uncle’s brother just died, about 20 days after their mother passed away. I wonder if I’ll manage to squeeze the book fair held at the Caudan Waterfront tomorrow, somewhere in between.
