The Great Migration

This will be the first summer since I moved to Saint Helens that I will not be going to California to visit family and friends. However I am going to California this coming weekend to help my Aunt move. She is moving here and she is going to share a place with my mom. I think this is a great plan because my aunt will help my mom get her head out of her ass. Living with her big sister will make my mom feel embarrassed to be as careless as she usually is. No one else could have this effect on my mom because coming from anyone else she would just want to resist being controlled or changed. Also, this will be good for my aunt because her girlfriend just died a little more than a year ago and she could use some loving company.

I love me aunt Janice. She's great in every way. She was a crazy liberated hippie woman back in the early 50's, before it was cool, and so she has her biasis against religion and government that are understandable. She is a feminist when it is really no longer necessary, which I understand too seeing as how she grew up. She loves me, she treats me like a woman and not like her little neice, and she understands my issues with my mother.

I miss her, I can't wait to see her.

And also, I'm really excited for the 13 hour drive back when i'm driving her truck for her. Really, I am, it's a beautiful drive.
