famillles, je vous hais!

Spent X-mas in Halifax, for the first time in 14 years. It was thoroughly unpleasant: my father is in poor health, his galpal was in a Holiday frenzy, and the city looked small and ugly, for the most part. Fought with my brother, and just felt generally on edge. I am really glad to have left. I am back in Montreal, and worried that my apartment may be infested with bedbugs. Hopefully it's just dust mites.
