So today I manage to leave the house without my bus pass or my lunch, but dammit, I had pie.
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Maybe she thought the easiest way to deal with the problem is to tell this person not to call her at work?
Apparently. Which is fine, of course! I don't know why she can't email like a normal person... Who talks on the phone??

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
It's really startling to tear open an orange and discover that it's actually a blood orange. I did not expect to see bright red liquid spurting at that particular moment.
Oh, I've done this! It's freaky.

Now tagless for your comfort.
My mother is apparently on a bender. She's been gone for two weeks and didn't tell Dad where she was going. She's at a casino in Iowa, running low on insulin and about to have her Discover card cut off.
Feh. I don't know why he doesn't pack her bags and have them waiting for her on the porch when she gets back.

And I complain about my mother sometimes... ugh.

Oh man, Cashmere. Good luck to them. Not that kind of luck.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Ack, Cashmere. Good luck to them indeed.

I'm just as frustrated with Dad. He martyrs himself and complains and is miserable when he could be proactive and just toss her out. He pays all the bills anyway. She doesn't contribute. His theory is that she takes such poor care of herself that she's going to die soon, anyway. Waiting her out is no way to live. He and my brother can live ok on his retirement and bro's SSDI without the stress of Mom hiding her credit card bills from him.
I know it hurts his pride to accept money from me but he is really just suffering and won't make a move to end the situation.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh my....
