The house across the street is occupied by a single mother and her kids, but they aren't always there. I can't figure that one out. And the mother is horrific, always screaming at the kids at the top of her lungs, complete with just about every swear word you can think of.

For the past 2 hours one of the kids has been (I guess) locked out of the house by the mom, and is just yelling "MOOOOOOOOM!!!!" at the top of his lungs over and over.

I don't know the mom, and I don't want to get involved. But I'm really close to calling the police. But I don't want that to lead to a situation where CPS would get involved. I pretty much just want the shitty mom to let her kid in the house.

Lol--can you go tell the kid to shut the hell up?

I swear I'm not making this up -- the kid came and knocked on my door, and the mom immediately threw open her door and started yelling "Get the FUCK off that porch right the hell now!!!" So I guess she was watching the whole time?

And now the mom on the porch taking selfies and the boy is on the sidewalk wailing, and 2 little girls came out on the porch and are screaming.

What the actual hell.

Aww, it reminds me of my wheelchair-bound loud possibly drug-dealer neighbor! Who we call "cellphone" because the most common bellowing screams are "bring me my cellphone! Bring me my cellphone!" (Second only is "open the door! Open the door!")

Now the boy is inside, the girls are still on the porch screaming, and the mom is still taking selfies. She really has the hair toss down. What a garbage human being.

I still don't understand why the kids aren't in school.

How old are the kids? That is so horrible.

They look like maybe 6 and 8 years old. The mom is awful. I know I'm not a parent, and I know kids can get on your last nerve and make you want to launch them into the sun, but you don't *actually* yell profanity at them they way this dirtbag does.

That is incredibly sad. Yes, kids are a pain, but there are about a thousand or more better ways to handle it. They should at least be in school to get some break from the abuse.

Okay, I don't know if I ever mentioned this here, but I know I did on FB: the itchy/flushed side effect of Prozac finally subsided, and it seems like it's starting to help my mood. I just feel more engaged with the world around me than I have in quite a while. I also feel like buying new clothes, which I haven't cared about in a long time.

And the anxiety is dialed WAY down, though not gone. But vastly improved.

I think the Prozac is making me grind my teeth even more while I sleep (I already did to some extent), but I'm hoping that will subside, too. But I should get a mouthguard for sleeping.

So, fingers crossed that my brain is on the right track. Go, brain. Woo.

Yay, improved Brain Chemistry!
