Hello, darling. I haven't heard from you in awhile, are you alright? You should really come by to visit us sometime. I do hope that we will see you around Christmas time--it just isn't the same without you, and Petunia will be here with Vernon.
Big news! Petunia is pregnant! Isn't that wonderful? You're going to be an aunt!
Other than that, there isn't much news around here. My gardens have had good days and bad. I think that the roof may have a leak, but Vernon promised to come and take a look at it someday this week.
Oh, Tobais Snape died about a week ago, apparently. The whole town's been talking about it. You're friends with that boy of his, aren't you? I hope that he's alright, it must be a difficult time for him, particularly since it doesn't seem it was exactly natural causes, but I'm sure that you don't want to hear about that.
Let me know if you and your fiance plan to come by for Christmas. The more, the merrier.
Love you,
Mum.
Oh lovely. Lalala blah blah blah Tobias Snape was murdered lalala. That's...not exactly surprising. Horrible man. No mother, I'm not friends with Severus anymore, and I HIGHLY DOUBT he's torn up about it. I wouldn't be surprised if he was the one that offed Tobias. And I honestly don't think I'd condemn him for it either.
AND my sister is pregnant. Wonderful. Soon she'll be fat and whiny and OH SO EXCITED about her baaaaaaaaabeeeeeeeeeeee! I'm pregnant too, but you don't see me screaming in excitement. All right, different circumstances there. Still.
It's weird. Every time I try to ignore that entire part of my life (you know, childhood?) it just jumps right back in my face. Anything that happened to be before school seems like it happened to someone else. I hardly recognise my family anymore (it might help if I saw them more often...).

My mother wants us to visit over Christmas. My sister is also with parasite, so if you can think up a good excuse to avoid the trip I wouldn't object...

Insomnia is annoying. Maybe I should try counting backwards from 100? Sheep don't work, I start giving them names and personalities, and before I know it I've dreamed up a whole Animal Farm settlement with political coups and all.
