Hibernation Mode

I've been in a hibernation mode lately. Ever since I decided to give up alcohol so I can work on getting back in shape, going out and partying doesn't appeal to me. Then there's my family. I want to take a break from my family. Not my immediate family. I'm talking about my aunts and cousins. They've been driving me crazy with their constant tardiness lately. I really wish I can take a break from them without my mom bitching at me because I'm really getting tired of waiting around for them. Did you know, I only eat once on Sundays? My family always have lunch together on Sundays and when I say lunch, I mean a 2pm meal. And I'm starving by then, so I overeat and won't eat anything for the rest of the day. I guess it's my fault for not eating a snack before lunch, but why does it have to be that way? I constantly ask why are these people late. And well, no one will say they will consider trying to be on time. I swear my blood pressure spikes up from my blood boiling with anger whenever I wait around for my family to arrive and starving.

My cousin is coming down to Vegas for her 25th birthday, and I told her flat out I can't go. Mainly because I have the Santa Run on Saturday, but I know my family. She said just come at 10pm and hang out, but 10pm to my family is actually 12 to 1am. And I don't have the patience to deal with them 3 weeks in a row. For Thanksgiving, we didn't get to eat til 2:30pm because we were waiting on my aunts. We were supposed to start lunch at noon, so who said 2:30 was the new noon? Cuz where I come from, noon is 12pm.
