My parental units - who started their around Australia trip in about June last year - are in Mackay, and are expecting to be home again tomorrow!!
I feel like I ought to be excited .... but I'm not. I don't know. The idea of them being home kind of feels weird. I can't really explain it. I don't know if it's just because they weren't here for the biggest part of my life last year (the 3 months where I wasn't able to do ... pretty much anything) or whether it's just the time factor ... I was actually commenting to my housemate a week or so ago that the first few days of them being home I was probably going to be commenting on the fact that I wasn't receiving text messages from my mother!
Anyway, it will be nice to have them home, but I don't know if I'll be able to see them before we go away. My parents will understand though. Especially with what has been going on for all of us. And also, my parents will absolutely adore the fact that my housemate and I are going with the particular friend that we are going with as she has been my friend since I was about 3 years old lol. My mother was incredibly happy that I had "reconnected" with her.
Sometimes family makes me laugh.
