So, flying was pretty bad,

Hi guys... we are back from vacation, finally.

 

A LOT happened, seriously. Yesterday I was stranded at Dallas Forth Worth alone for over 24 hours... I guess if you're going to be stranded at any airport, at least it's the second biggest in the country... I was already stressing so much trying to get FROM my gate, TO check-in, and then BACK to the gate that took me home...  The airport was so big that this was already such a huge affair, but then I got there.. and there was a delay...(￣_￣)
 

The tragic DC plane crash that occurred on the January 29th greatly affected the effort to get home. Sitting on the taxiway, most of us had our phones buzz, and then everyone was whispering about a horrible crash that had happened within the past hour. I was flying with American Airlines, and although our flight was only just delayed... it was deplaned, and then cancelled. (￣～￣;) I was freaking out, horribly. I was totally alone, exhausted, not to mention disabled... I raised hell, of course—and a lot of agents looked really pained or awkward watching such a distressed disabled girl panic this badly. They handed out hotel vouchers for free, but it was some place far away that you needed to Uber to... and I wasn't doing that!! (ーー;) So my only option was to sleep in the airport, and book a new flight... one that would not board for another 13 hours. I... I spend 40 minutes riding in circles on the train that gets you around the airport... (〃￣ω￣〃ゞ then I found a cozy, warm, and safe spot near my gate to sleep for the night. It was horrifying when everyone (the staff, fellow passengers, etc.) realized what happened... OH, WE DIDN'T GET REFUNDED EITHER!! AND I PAID FOR A SEAT, AND THEY DIDN'T LET ME PICK ANOTHER ONE??!?
 

So... needless to say, I am very very very very very tired.

Our actual vacation was so nice!! Although, it was mostly for Mio to spend time with her boyfriend, so I didn't really front this much during the week. What I DID love was going to the Natural History Museum, and seeing lots of kitties, and there were even taxidermied animals at the Ripley's museum, too...

But, yeah. I am really tired. So are the other girls... and I think maybe, I'll be having a little bit of a hiatus...? Not a big one, but I need time... (・・;)ゞ I'm utterly exhausted, and also not looking forward to just slipping back into our usual routine. Mio is the one who has been fronting the most this week, obviously... and she's also the one most emotionally affected by it!! We got home, and our little sister went “oh.. it's just you!”. (our parents didn't tell her that we left the house to begin with to avoid the tears, so this is fine!) ... but MIO... MIO, who already didn't want to come home... who was sick of our 'normal'... who would have no one to hug or snuggle with for months...!! She broke down, and babbled and bawled for quite a while... Mulling over how her clothes smelled like him, how cold our bed was... (But honestly, I was happy to be in my own bed (￣ω￣;)).

Mio is pretty antisocial as is. （；￣︶￣） She always has been, which is OK! As an alter, she's a traumaholder, an avid fight-or-flight reactor, and a gatekeeper, so she's always preferred being on her lonesome. But then, now, she's like... “I don't want to do anything! Leave me alone! Everyone stop talking to me! I only want to speak to my boyfriend!” But that's understandable. It seems she's just recently found out what HER perfect is, and then suddenly... she got thrown into a torture gauntlet, and returned to an underwhelming home with no one to kiss or hug.. (￣ω￣)

 

Me & Mai are really exhausted... and because Mio has that drive of ”EVERYONE GO AWAY! I NEED TO BE WITH MY MAN!!” ... well, lol, it's likely she will be a bit more reserved and detached from most things, until we settle back in and rest enough. （＾～＾；）

Maybe you can talk to Mio, too, if she'll let you (￣ω￣;) (it's a joke, Mio's a nice girl). Obviously, I am still gonna be around! I promise! But... um, wow, I can't explain how little I feel like writing blogs, replying to emails, hanging out as much as I usually do, replying to... everything...
 

so, yes... I just need a while... I will still read emails and chatbox messages, btw…
 

I love you guys and I am happy to be home!! But don't act like I'm OFFICIALLY 'back', please (⌒_⌒;) I'm tired and I just wanna rest for a good long while...
 

See you real soon!
