Well, we're home from our last camping trip of the summer. Indian Island was exhausting but fun, and my Uncle passed away so I had to leave Riverhead and go to Brooklyn for his funeral. It was really just a service, because he's being buried in Israel (where my Aunt is from) and they'll be sitting shiva there too. It was very sad, I learned that my younger girl cousin (she's 42, I'm 45) is really quite mentally ill, didn't go to her dads hospital bedside or his service. My Aunt and cousin are in complete denial so me and my older cousin talked about it, and we're going to have to talk to my Aunt about some kind of treatment. It seems she's really OCD, to the point of blaming her thoughts of unhappiness for her fathers death, and then threatening suicide. Oy. On top of that, she constantly cleans and makes piles of stuff, and keeps moving the piles.
It was good to talk to my cousin though-we were close as brother and sister when we were younger.
On an up note, my boys started football practice this week, so I saw all my old football friends yesterday, then this morning, we went (my husband and I) fishing out of Captree with all our friends we grew up with. I didn't catch anything, but I do love fishing.
Tomorrow I have so much cleaning to do, I am NOT looking forward to it. Laundry is piled up higher than me, along with the kitchen which looks like a bomb went off in it.
