this has not been a good weekend.
On the poker front, it was as it always is. Friday's bloggerment was a ton of laughs, and even Jules showed up to work off a bit of life tilt. I've been a bit under the weather all week, and went to bed early, so really don't know who placed where.
Sunday was some poker, and I think the best I can say for it is mediocre. I was not giving it my best effort, and it kinda showed. I placed deep in some silly $1+.10 I played on Stars, and was in that while playing the BritBloggerment and a token effort.
Frankly, I'd have been better off going for a walk. I was still thinking about Saturday.
Saturday was bad, really bad. Well it was really good until dinner...I met my aunt and we went through some of my Grandma's stuff, and had a lot of laughs looking at the old pictures. It was great hearing more stories of my Mum and Grandma, stories that I should have written down.
But it turned really ugly after dinner, and I left. As far as I am now concerned, I am one aunt less. I can't bring myself to write what she said, not here, not even in my private journal; it was that awful.

You can choose your friends, but you're stuck with your family.My mum said that, and truer words were never spoken.
I sympathise, Kat. I just know what its like to not even be able to bring yourself to repeat the words/actions of your family. There isn't much to be said when people who Should Know Better and should err on the side of kindness behave that abysmally. I'm quite sure she'll regret it and be unhappy in time. Don't let it ruin any more of your week.
Take Care

Sorry this happened, hon. It's always worse when it's unexpected.
You can choose your friends and they are here for you if you need them.
Family...the ones that you admit to being related to...are always a mix of blessing and burden. It's something that we learn to bear. Eventually.
