Truly Ironic

So I leave to go to Washington DC (well actually Rockville Maryland) in about four hours.  Unfortunately when I should be sleeping I can't.   it doesn't have to do with anything specific other than me just normally not normally going to sleep till after two in the morning.

This does however cause my mind to wander.   This trip I'm taking is to visit my sister and her family.  Honestly I'm very proud of my sister, her husband, my niece, and nephew.  Her husband is an economist and worked for years at the IMF till he retired with a full benefits package.  He just recently got a job at Citibank in New York.

Part of the reason for the timing of my trip is for my nephews graduation.   He goes to the same private school that President Obama sends his kids to and  will graduating with honors.  I'm very proud of him.  

He and I will also be spending time together like going to the spy museum in DC and hopefully seeing an Orioles game.

Also it will be nice to see my sister.  I've had very little contact with her since I was a child since we had different mothers and they didn't get along I'm very happy we've bonded.

There is one thing leaving a bitter taste in my mouth is that my ex was suppose to be coming with me.   My sister had a slew of frequent flyer miles she wasn't using and got us the tickets together a couple months ago.

As far as I know she hasn't apologized to my sister for not coming which is very fitting to her personality.   Both my sister and I would've been okay with her say using the ticket to visit her family if she wanted, and well if she was still talking to me I might even of suggested it.

But here is the thing that is leaving the bitter taste in my mouth.  She is still taking the vacation time, and suddenly the person she is now seeing is taking vacation time also.   And from what someone told me that this person is visiting be family on California.   So it'd seem likely they went together to visit her family.  

It honestly isn't surprising.   I guess its mostly the timing of it all.   

Anyways I'll have a bunch of pictures up on Facebook for those of you I have friended.

Also I hope this comes out okay.   I'm sending this from my phone using the Android app.
