We're supposed to get hit hard on Saturday - up to eight inches, starting in the afternoon. And as luck would have it, I have to go to my dickhead brother-in-law's wedding in Chicago on Saturday, which is also, of course, New Years Day. There really should be a special place in hell for people who get married on or near national holidays, especially during winter. I can't even begin to express how ****ing thrilled I am about the prospect of driving 35 miles home in a ****ing blizzard because that ****ing asshole can't be a normal person and get married in ****ing June like everybody else.
Hopefully the weather people are wrong, and it won't be a big deal, or, more preferably, be a huge deal and hit early enough that I can use it as an excuse not to go. I hate weddings anyway. And I pretty much hate my idiot brother-in-law no matter when he's getting married. |
Well, we survived the trip to Chicago. Left immediately after the ceremony. Roads were getting shitty but there was next to no traffic, so it wasn't that bad. Passed up on the free post-wedding Italian dinner, but it was certainly prudent to leave when we did.
Between covid paranoia and the weather, there were only about 15 people there total. Definitely the smallest wedding I've ever attended. Almost seemed comical to have that few people in a big downtown cathedral.
Anyway, thank God it's over and we got home safe. And I probably won't have to endure my idiot BIL again until Easter.
