Two weeks of barely any exercise and I feel totally out of shape! I did some cardio this morning for only half an hour, and it was HARD! I was worried about my knee, too. Maybe some acupuncture will help.

Mr. Nick and I have decided on Barcelona and Valencia as our two Spanish cities to visit. I can't wait!! Our trip is only 5 weeks away! Now we just need to book our way there and hotels. I can't wait to start packing! 

This also means I will be out of town for Father's Day. My dad's been back from Hong Kong for over a week now, and he's not called me (like he said he would upon his return). My mom says I should call him. She says I should think about his money even if I don't want to talk to him and the I am his only family.

Doing anything for his money is ridiculous. She thinks I am entitled to his money, and I really don't think so (He should be spending money on you instead of taking his bitches on trips!). He's never promised me anything (well, he did say he'd give me some money after the divorce but that was a couple of years ago and nothing has materialised). And if he gave me money, I would never be allowed to forget it. He also makes himself sound really poor, too. Everything I mention of big bills to pay, he'll say, "let me know when you need money. I can give you the retirement funds I was going to use for my dental implants."

I also reminded my mom that if I was his only family, he should treat me better. I really hate how my mom tells me exactly what I should say to my dad. I wonder if he'd even notice that I wouldn't say those kind of things. She often wants me to play dumb with my father. Her phrases often start with "pretend..." Ugh! I think I told her life with absolutely no father would be easier for me.

I hate Father's Day. I don't want to do anything for it, but I feel I have to.

If I didn't hear from my dad by the time I leave for my trip, I was going to mail him a card, but my mom said that was wrong and that I should just call him. And say what? I never have anything to say to him.

I'm inclined to think that mailing him the card would be the best option too.

Apparently, mailing a card isn't personal enough!

Well mailing a card might not be personal but not contacting you upon his return was a little impersonal, wasn't it? Why do all our families have to be so damn dysfunctional? lol

I guess being part of dysfunctional families provides good (or boring??) blogging topics?? I guess with Chinese culture, even if your parents are assholes, you still have to show some sort of respect and let them walk all over you. And then ask for more!
