The family has arrived, and we are all staying at a motel together. They are mostly asleep, but I have just spent an
hour walking in the parking lot and feeling nauseous.
Eyes - i loved your suggestion of drugs and alchohol but right now I am trying to keep down milk and banana and fritos. I also bought aspirin. The convenience guy liked my selection. Everyone seems normal except my family. I love and adore them so much, but am freaking out!!!!!

 Oh man, family. They are just so crazy sometimes! My family loves to argue and it always stresses me out. I find it's best for me to hold my tongue and make jokes until it's over.
Good luck and hang in there. They won't stay forever!
