I'm all packed up and ready to go. I think. I'm not sure how the one bag is 43 lbs, but it is.
Mom keeps pushing a hotel room on me, which, no. Brother's fam is recovering from various plagues, but I'm gonna be around them (that's the whole point) so me staying in a hotel is not going to make a difference. And I'd be beholden to their hours unless I also rented a car, which, again, no. This is where her short term memory flakiness gets annoying on many levels. Is she just being her stubborn dog with a bone self, or is she just forgetting? Which am I supposed to be mildly annoyed by??
Well, surgery is scheduled at 0'dark 30 on February 15th. So, lots of time to plan and try to assemble a list of potential drivers and someone (or two) to stay with me the first couple of days.
Hah, sarameg—whereas I am all "yes I need a rental car and a hotel room sorry can't stay with mom nope nope nope!"

Is it possible that she thinks that you staying at a hotel will help your brother's family while they're sick? Like, they don't need to worry about having a guest?

I always rent a car in Ohio. If I'm there with Tom, we stay in a hotel room. Thus far, when I'm there by myself I've stayed with my parents, which I hate. I think I'm going to have to change that up.
Oh no, I'm so sad to hear about Ouise! Fucking cancer.
Oh shit. That sucks about Ouise. I liked it better when the board had more babies born and less people dying.
Yeah, what Meara said. Fuck.
