meara, I'm reading the latest InCryptid, too.
Update on The Telenovela de Strixy --
Heh -- DH is not communicating with Ex until he has his lawyer look at this promissory note for a settlement she wants him to sign (all mixed up with house mess) and since today, she's put his texts on blast and he's (finally) simply just replied "I can't talk about it until my lawyer checks this out tomorrow," she told him she contacted the mediator. Any judge will look at her like she's crazy if she litigates because DH wanted his lawyer, who was out of town until tomorrow, to look over a LEGAL FINANCIAL DOCUMENT before signing it.
AND -- Um. The mediator only deals with child issues. This is a PROPERTY issue. Empty threat, and NOT. SMART. She's panicking because DH is not backing down anymore and although I am trying to be all Zen with most of my life, I AM LMFAO because? Karma? It's a bitch. She tries to mess around with anything having to do with The Kiddo, and we have enough evidence of violations, including technically legal kidnapping TWICE, to nail her ass to the wall.
She backed down and sent a counteroffer to the realtor, so we MIGHT still be selling the house. But DH is finally going all War Doctor, and it. is. SWEET.
I AM LMFAO because? Karma?
And also because you are party rocking.
Some women just need slapped by other members of their gender. I despise vindictive ex's and other women who take such glee in punishing the men in their lives.
Scrappy it sounds like she doesn't have any willpower either.
It's on him for sure, but I've been there and she will make all these fattening, calorie-filled dishes every night. She won't stop buying cookies and candy either "for guests."
Ugh. On a less-serious level, I am reminded of my one college roommate who knew I wanted to lose weight, but just happened to have treats hot and waiting when I got home from class.
So my mother is starting what I guess is essentially chemo on Thursday for a non-cancer problem. She's going to be at the hospital for five hours. Any idea what she should expect to feel like?

I finished it Sunday. Good stuff, as usual.
I got about 70% through last night and then fell asleep. And slept terribly, and then when I hit snooze, had an awful nightmare about this horrible TINO of a dude I had to work with on my last project--I dreamt that he was somehow both my boss AND in my house, and it was horrid.
Best of luck to your mom, Jesse!
Any idea what she should expect to feel like?
There are many kinds of chemo. Nausea is a possibility. Probably lethargy if they're using the really aggressive drugs.
Aw, Jesse. I hope it takes care of whatever and she bounces back fast. (And is gentle to herself until she does.)
