Vacation Hijacked.
Well, one thing I was looking forward to this summer ain't happening now.
My parents just informed me that I'm going to need an entire week (all I have for vacation at the moment) in August to go to my sister's wedding. So this means no chance for me to take a couple extra days around the next weekend to go to Shambhala. So that's stricken from the agenda, now. Which I guess sucks, but whatever. Just a party and it'll probably be there next year. Meef. The other idea I had was to build up funds, and just take the month of August off and then do wedding, Shambles, and then couch surf for a couple weeks whilst I try and end up in Van. That being said, it's been a long time since I've flown without a net like that, and the last time that happened I ended up in my parents' basement in debt and feeling miserable that I couldn't make things work in Van. So that's seeming to me like more and more of an immature decision just so I can go to the interior and do a bunch of drugs, yeah? And that's just the contingency plan. If I do get another job out in Van before then (which is the ultimate goal) then I might be up shit's creek about a vacation in general, and if that happens I won't even get to go to my own sister's wedding, let alone Shambhala. I guess i should just start saving for Burning Man next year, then, huh? Fuck, this being responsible stuff sucks.

^^ True. I'm hoping I get a chance to see both my grandmothers there. One (Grandma) had a turn for the worse last Christmas, and I spoke with her on the phone... she was pretty drugged up, in good spirits and was really enthusiastic to see everybody at the wedding... I just hope I get a chance to see her again then, as she lives in southern California so I really don't get to see her much.
My other grandmother (Granny) got really sick and had to go to the hospital two weeks ago, so while I was in Van last week I got to take a chance and visit with her for an afternoon while we just chatted. That was really awesome, as I'm a pretty lazy person and as such don't get in touch with her nearly often enough. This is one major reason why I'm apprehensive about not getting a vacation at all... missing this wedding would mean even less of a chance of me seeing the only two grandparents I've had (both my grandfathers died before I was born. One smoked, the other drank) before it's too late.
