I FINALLY told my family that I’m going to DISCon. Well, I told my mother, anyway, and that’s as good as telling the rest of the family. I figured that I’d better tell now, because I’m hoping someone in the family will take me to the airport. (So far, no one’s offered. I might have to go to plan B.) I’m really not sure why I put off telling them for so long. Guess I thought they’d freak out, or they’d think I’d freaked out.
Mom didn’t really seem so surprised that I’m going, only that it’s so soon. She asked if I was going alone and when I said ‘yes,’ she said “aw,’ – like she was sorry for me that I had to go alone. So, I told her that I wouldn’t really be alone. I think she actually feels better that I’m joining a group. (She’s very protective of me; I’m her ‘baby.’) Well, I bought a 600 minute phone card at Sam’s Club, so I can call her often and tell her what I’m up to.
