How could I criticize chips & guac when I'm having chips and pumpkin cream cheese for dinner?
River: The human body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds given adequate vacuuming systems. Mal: See, morbid and creepifying, I got no problem with, long as she does it quiet-like.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Hil, that sounds like a perfectly acceptable dinner on a night when you're feeling lousy. I'm sorry your mother was pushing your buttons.
I was feeling lousy today. I ended up taking a long nap and having a box of Trader Joe's mac & cheese for lunch. No gym today, maybe tomorrow. TCG is making dinner, which luckily for both of is leftovers that just need to be heated.

Last night my dinner was a coke and corn chex (ETA: plain from the box, not with milk or anything). I think you're fine.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That wasn't the explanation I was looking for. Was the Corn Chex in the Coke?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

No, they were separate. I drank the coke, and ate the chex by handfuls from the box, because I was too lazy to cook anything.
For lunch today I ate my roommate's ravioli. She had offered them last night but I was too lazy. Now I have to buy her some more
ETA: oh jeez, Hil, that's annoying. Reminds me a bit of Tom's issue the other day.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Hil, that sounds incredibly frustrating. I'm sorry your mom wasn't able to hear and acknowledge the things you were saying. Ugh.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Maybe your mother is trying to reconcile how she may have hurt you both and the minor shit is her start to recognizing the more serious stuff?
One can hope.

Some days I regret not trying to engage my mother on issues before her death. More days I'm glad I decided to let it all go. Of course it resulted in not speaking to any of my blood family for over a decade, but I was apparently not missed.
Your coping methods will more than likely vary.
Weirdly, Facebook has resulted in my exchanging more information with my remaining sister than we've traded this century. (I love using that phrase)
