Well, damn

Because of my spectacular lack of grace in falling and hurting my feet, I cannot go to the family reunion this weekend. (My mother's paternal aunt is hosting it at her home, which is apparently quite large and has a swimming pool.) Since I can neither walk nor drive, and as I seem to be coming down with some sort of cold and therefore can't be around my mother (who has immune system problems), I can't go.

My stepdad is now going in my place because he doesn't like Mom and Mini-me traveling alone; I think he likes me to go along so I can drive in case Mom can't or doesn't want to (she hates driving at night), and Mini-me is not quite old enough to drive. But now I can't drive, I wouldn't really be able to do anything except sit around and talk to people (which would have been fine), and there's probably no place to put my crutches in the car, as Mom doesn't understand the concept of "traveling lightly." (I'm not kidding; she will probably take at least two pieces of luggage [although some of my daughter's things will probably be in Mom's luggage] PLUS her train case PLUS her purse and tote bag for this weekend. They're leaving Saturday and probably returning Sunday evening or Monday morning.)

They're also having to board the cats at the veterinarian's clinic, as I can't really get to where Catarina likes to hide to grab her and make her take her meds, nor can I get to the area where their food bowls are, and I'd bet trying to scoop the litter box in my current state would be an adventure, too.

I wanted to go. It sounded like it would be a lot of fun.

My mom said that they do the reunion every other year or so, so I guess I can go the next time.

But damn it, I wanted to go this year. *pout*
