The Return of the Devil's Spawn

Ugh. My sister comes home next week. She's been gone since mid-November, and I have not missed her once. She wasn't supposed to come home until February 14th. Yet, her flight gets in on the 26th of January. Why is this?
Turns out she doesn't like travelling as much as she told everyone she did.
Turns out Mum and Dad were right when they said she was going for too long.
Turns out she ran out of money.
Turns out Mum and Dad were right when they said Europe would cost a lot more than she expected.
Turns out Mum and Dad have had to loan her around $4500.
Despite the loan, she continues to buy shoes and clothes, that- chances are- she won't fit in two months time and will throw out because she'll either a) come back and stop eating, or b) come back and eat a lot.

I like how for the past... year, it's been all about her trip. Now she's been gone two months, and it's still all about her trip, and when she gets back, it will still all be about her.

Thank God I only have one month and four days left in this city.
