This is going to sound bad, but I'm kind of over Mom and her bullshit. My breaking point came yesterday when after the 4th text I got from David about her I replied that I was sick of her being the only thing everyone ever talked or thought about, I had my own shit going on and my own stuff that I care about and I was done not having room in my ( Read more... )

It occurred to me as I was leaving work yesterday afternoon (after David had just texted me that Mom cancelled her physical therapy yet again) that I have 2 other siblings. So I texted Rian and Jamie about what's been going on with Mom, telling them that if she winds up in the hospital I don't want to hear that I kept things from them. Her birthday ( Read more... )

I'm running low on a bunch of essential oils, so even though I prefer to support a local business and buy them from Aromatic Infusions, I didn't want to wait on the off chance they'd go on sale sometime soon. Full price, they are a lot more expensive than I can get from Amazon; I bundled tangerine, frankincense, and spearmint, and altogether they ( Read more... )

Saturday I made breakfast, went to CVS and Michael's and the record store, got my hair cut, then went to the grocery store. I got catfish filets on sale and David made fried catfish for supper. I watched the 2 new-ish follow-up episodes of The Way Down and finished this teeny tiny cross stitch.

And I think I've actually decided on the distant 3rd option as what I'm going to do. I've always wanted to see Poverty Point but it's way up in the northeast corner of the state, so it's definitely not a day trip. It's about a 4 1/2 hour drive, which is actually about how long it takes to drive to the condo in Alabama. Poverty Point is the largest ( Read more... )

When I left the house this morning it was legit cool, my car's temperature readout said 70°. Summer ain't gonna be over in this part of the world for a while, but it's starting to waver. July and August were just day after day after day of unrelenting oppressive heat, most of the time in the triple digits. It's been kind of unreal; south Louisiana ( Read more... )

Yeah, so that happened yesterday afternoon. It's not entirely dead, but it's not as cold as it should be. We have a small bar fridge and I took all the soda and iced tea out of it and tried cramming in as much dairy and lunch meat and cheese as possible, but we're still probably going to wind up throwing out a bunch of stuff. Mom's calling our ( Read more... )

I bought some more Delta 8 gummies from Binoid; I've been out for a while and mostly taking either the THC tablets (still have plenty of those sirena73, I haven't even taken the shrink wrap off the 2nd box) or Delta 11 gummies. I like to have a variety, because they all feel slightly different. The THC is supposedly indica, although to me it feels more ( Read more... )

Saturday I made eggs and toast for myself and the 'rents; after showering I went to Five Below and the grocery store, with a pit stop at the carwash just to vacuum crumbs out of my car (too much rain in the forecast to bother with washing). I did some planner/journal writing, spent a while figuring out my new tablet stand and trying some different ( Read more... )
