Post Respite Blues

I am back now from my visit to family in San Diego. It was a great time, but all too short, and I feel as though I just didn’t get to see my family as much as I wanted to. Usually I only need a day to bounce back from a six-hour road trip, but I still feel exhausted and unmotivated for much of anything.

We had a family reunion of sorts with extended family members — uncles, aunts, cousins, etc. It was nice to see people I hadn’t seen in quite a while. It seems as though there were too many people to see in such a short time and I don’t like visiting in crowds. I’m much more of a one-on-one or small group person.

My brother and his family had the good fortune of finding a new place to live, but they had to move during my visit so I got to see very little of them. I think that’s why I feel so depressed. I probably won’t get to see them until Christmas. I’m going to go cry now.
