I am super lazy when it comes to hair.

Me too. Summer drives me to cut it very short and it gets annoyingly long when it starts cooling off, so I'm not driven to cut it. But I really like it summer-short, the curl hides the thinning spots and I like the way it looks. Hair style wasn't really something I was raised to think was important, "not a mess" was what we aimed for.

I just dislocated a rib while doing sit-ups. Clearly, my body hates me just as much as I hate it.

Oh Hil, that sucks!

Damn, Hil. That totally sucks.

That sounds like a perfectly miserable weekend, Hil. May be week turn around quickly.

I'm sorry, Hil. That sounds miserable.

Thanks, everyone. I've dislocated that rib a bunch of times before -- it doesn't hurt too much, but just feels really weird.

I need to get out more. This summer, I'm just teaching online, and I've been mostly staying home, and it's not good for me. I should go out and do more stuff.

Mom's cat has crystals in his bladder and needs special food.

Andi do you have a recommendation for that?

I really don't like my brother sometimes. Mom went up to take my nephew his swim stuff he'll need tomorrow.

She wasn't gone long and she gets a text from my brother saying don't come over again without asking permission. He wasn't home so I guess his gf called or texted him about it.

It interrupts family time he said and that they want their home to be a place for their family.

Now. Mom picks up E , get a him to after school stuff, takes him home, makes sure he does his homework, eats dinner and gets to bed almost every night during the school year.

Many nights mom has no idea when my bro or his gf will be home because they will have something after work and not tell mom.

Or the night of or morning of need mom for something.

She hasn't said anything because she doesn't want to upset them.

I know mom is over involved with my nephew in some ways . But my brother is very...harsh at times and doesn't realize it.

Also..he won't give the courtesy he demands.

I want to text him but I won't. It's not my place and I don't want to make things worse but if E got upset or difficult when mom left then he should have said that or given a reason.

they want their home to be a place for their family.

Well, your mom is family, too. That's a shitty way to treat someone who takes care of your son, regardless of whether she's family or not, but it's especially shitty considering it's your mom.

She hasn't said anything because she doesn't want to upset them.

I guess that "Hey, that's really shitty" would be upsetting to hear.
