Hi, I can't help it; I know I'm not a genius but I don't think I'm stupid (all the time). I know that this is just way, way too much of a coincidence for this to not be deliberate. I will explain.
Thursday night (last night) we get a call from a relative (who has come over a few times in the past) saying that she, her children, and her brother/brother's children are coming over tomorrow (which is today, Good Friday). My dad "lied" to them and told that we're having company (he's simply drained from so many visits from people like physical/occupational therapy, visiting physicians, etc.), and requested that they schedule it for a different day. So, we see them calling today on our phone but my dad doesn't answer it, and neither do I. I can surmise that they are calling to try to come tomorrow or Sunday. They seem too insistent on coming this weekend and not waiting for at least another week (I'm uncomfortable with the latter too, because that is Divine Mercy Sunday).
Since the date of Good Friday and Easter changes every year, I'm having a very, very hard time believing that the relatives don't know that this is Easter Weekend. I wonder if any relatives already suspect I'm Christian (even if I don't know how this happened). My blood is boiling but we may be able to get out it for this weekend, but not necessarily Divine Mercy Sunday (and no, it's not obligatory but it does not matter to me that it isn't. It's still an infringement upon my rights). My dad is not so sure that it's deliberate but sorry, I can't believe it's not. There's no way they don't know that today is GF or that the weekend is Easter. I don't believe it at all. Sure, I couldn't go to GF Mass, but THEY don't know that I couldn't go and may be assuming that they could get in the way of me going to GF Mass. Now they're on the hunt for tomorrow and even though EV (Easter Vigil) is later in the evening, I was planning to leave the house earlier in order for a priest to hear my confession (and a couple other errands before Mass) and I haven't made a time yet for that. I'm not optimistic I can but I'm intent on it at least.
