2024-09-10: family, finally

i've booked my flight; later this month i'll be heading out to visit my family for the first time in basically two years. there's always been the expectation that i go there. it's frustrating, but those are our dynamics, i guess.

but it'll be good to see everyone. it's been too long. i'll get in late (won't be at my parents' place until almost 1 am), try to sleep in a bit, and then have a few days to see everyone again. the distance is usually okay. some days it feels really hard. & this will help.
