At least six people from my family got Covid. The last of them was my great aunt Irena who was so ill that her life was threatened.

My aunt worked in a high-end shop for nearly 50 years, selling china dishes and crystal stemware.

My NT sister has always hated her high school frenemy & still does to this day.

I got a new air conditioner for my bedroom this summer, and my brother took it to my apartment set it up even though he kept going on and on that I was going to freeze with it on. He seems to think my bedroom will turn into a walk-in freezer and I will end up frozen in a block of ice and die of hypothermia just from having the AC on, even though it gets very hot in my bedroom during the summer, having just a fan on or opening windows doesn't really work, and the coolness of the AC is adjustable. Or maybe he believes in "AC Death Syndrome", like how people in Korea believe in Fan Death Syndrome. Whatever the reason he nearly drove me bonkers. But I did appreciate him setting it up for me.

My mother admitted to me he had been driving her crazy during his visit at her house as well. When we were head over after shopping she called and told him to put the lasagna she had made for us in the oven. The lasagna was all ready to be baked, he just had to put it in the oven. But he acted like this was a very complex and confusing thing to do. Of course when I mentioned what mom had said about him later he acted all innocent. What a character he is.

My distant cousin whom I didn't know, hanged herself a couple of years ago just because her husband had a love affair with another woman. She orphaned her two or three young children.

My great-grandfather was born in Cuba in 1838. Would be aged 184 if still alive. I'll bet there are people on WP who have a great-grandparent who's still alive.

My other distant cousin lives in Italy with her Italian husband :) She got married for the first time when she was 17 because she got pregnant with her first child and needed the parental permission to get legally married. Her first husband unfortunately died in an accident a couple of years later.

My aunt has the last name that comes from the name of the neighboring village - let's say that her last name is Williams (a name I just made up, she has a Polish name, of course, I am only showing you the example of how it works) and she lives in a village that is close to let's say, Williamsville :) Her real last name, as well as the name of said village actually both come from the Polish word that means "arc" or "bow" :)

My youngest sibling had his story published in a children's book when he was thirteen.

My sister works in an office. I'm not one bit jealous of her. I'd rather be a a hippie artist than an office worker, anyways.

My relatives (the ones still alive) are beginning to realize that maybe they could have treated me better.
