Yay, Epic! That's wonderful news!

Yay! End of chemo, Epic!

THEN she's all ... so we're going to split the bill right? No. I tell her.

I know it's entirely your plan so I am just out here being supportive until there is something more constructive any of us can offer besides words but OMG you guys need to get your own place as soon as you can get away from her. Which is not easy for a ton of reasons right now, I get. But this lurker supports you on a message board.

You are also being really strong through this whole concussion recovery. I've had more than a few (Im trying not to have any, friendly lurkers!!) so I'm glad to trade notes including with mental illness that didn't always play nice if that helps you out.

Epic!!! Yay!!! Fuck off chemo!

Cass that would be appreciated. My email address in my profile is good.

Goal for when I (hopefully) get a settlement from worker's comp is paying off as much of my remaining debt that I have (including my parents) and then figuring out a place to live that is not here.

Although today isn't too bad... M was convinced to grill burgers and hot dogs so that was nice.

I really wish that it would not only cool off but that the humidity level would drop.

In family hilarious mess news: my brother’s second child was born in February. At some point he and my mother had a big fight. She has been moaning to me that he has cut her out of his life and worse, the lives of her grandchildren, since about March. He ignores all her attempts to reach out and reconcile.

I have been mediating, passing along baby photos and news, for months. I invited my brother and his family to visit me over Labor Day weekend, and made sure it would be ok if my mother visited as well while they were here. Yesterday was the great reconciliation.

In the course of which, with everyone in the family present and looking on, it was discovered that my mother had blocked my brother’s number, angrily, at some point, and then apparently forgotten about it. So, every time she reached out, he had been replying, including sending pictures. She didn’t receive any messages because she had him blocked. He didn’t notice she didn’t reply directly to anything he said because he’s kind of clueless and our mother is kind of non-sequitor-y over text in the normal way of things.

Everyone found this hilarious except my mother, who was embarrassed. I am mostly just amazed she knows how to block people’s numbers.

Oh no, Mama Flea! That's really funny.

Omg flea!

Today I learned that my car’s registration expired in March. I renewed electronically. Immediately.

Also electronically got mac’s new phone activated and working.

My cousin is at mac’s place now loading up the items to go to storage and possibly having a come to Jesus/make better choices talk. I hope also taking him for a meal. They’re also to turn in mac’s keys and sign closet out papers with the apartment, then Mac will sleep on the floor tonight and flight out in the morning.

New dawn, new day.

In “not sure what I want to do with my life” child news, Casper applied to community college yesterday. Did everything by herself, except ask her father (luckily still in Ohio) to go pay for her high school transcript which has to be done by cash or money order only.

I hope Mac comes about!

Oh, flea, that is really funny. The mom block. And congrats to Casper for young adulting.

msbelle, progress is good. Yes.

I have not done a blessed thing today worth posting about, but that's OK. We ordered Thai for dinner. There. That's something.

Flea that’s very funny but I’d be mortified if I was your mom. Awww.

Also, cash or money order only? Wtf? What century is this? But go Casper.

Msbelle, good luck with the boyo
