On the road

Well, I'm on my way to my mother's place for Christmas. I spent most of yesterday's daylight hours driving, and I'm getting ready to get back in the car. I should make it there sometime this afternoon. I'm excited about spending time with my mother, and I'm happy that I'll get to visit my grandmother again (we were worried that last year would be the last chance), but I'm nervous about talking to some of the other people I have to see. Going back to that place is never entirely happy for me, and this year I need to get some legal/financial things sorted out. On the bright side, I feel more capable and more secure in who and what I am than I've ever felt before.
