Visiting new jersey

Date: 2/20/2021

I've come back to Jersey way sooner than i expected. I see Jessica and Katie on the bus down route 80, which looks more like the turnpike, and want to be welcomed back into their lives. However, as i talk to them, I'm filled by the realization that they didn't turn out totally okay. Jessica has severe OCD and Katie has mental illnesses of her own. In my heart I know it's because Phyllis put so much stress on them. I'm wondering if I really have any value in envying them. I end up in a shopping mall like Mercado Agricola with my grandma. We're getting delicious cuts off meat and she's showing me around. The place is busy and she goes up to pay at the register. There are things all over the floor and the cash was thrown on the corner of one and fell. An employee accuses me of stealing it and i show her honestly i didn't do it. I get into my mom's old silver van and head home. On the way, i realized i didn't tell any of my friends I'm here yet. A Persian guy drives the van and I talk to him a bit. Frankly, i want to spend more time with my dad. I try to organize my plans so I can. It's the dead of winter here but I left so fast I hoped i remembered to pack sun m warm clothes. I think of texting Edwin to let him know I'm home so we can hang out. I didn't think to bring a joint to share but I'm looking for a way anyway. I get out of the van in my driveway and get into my house.
