The Cliffs Notes version: I bitched out had cross words with Mom the other day. I swear, since moving back to NY, she's become unbearable again. She's been after me to make a dentist appointment something fierce. I know I haven't been in a couple years now, but constantly bugging me about it only makes me want to change my phone number and e-mail and not tell her. Then she started lecturing me on money management and not once offered to send any. Thanks, Mom! I told her I expected at least three digits ASAP, which means I'll get $100 max -- not that I'm looking a gift horse, but Mom's cheap sometimes.
The long version isn't worth re-hashing, since enough time has passed now that it really doesn't matter.
I shouldn't be so harsh about Mom, but at this point in my life, how I manage my money is none of her business. Sure, she can have all the opinions she wants, but shouldn't her goal in life to be to love, support, and help me? Maybe I've got it all wrong, maybe I'm idealizing how our relationship should be at this point. Or maybe, even though she's made some progress, she still can't let go and accept that I'm barreling headlong into 30.
MB's lying on the couch right now with Phoenie, a real first since she usually prefers me. Tenae's giving MB the Look of Death, since Phoenie is still kitty non grata right now. Phoenie got to have her first free fun of the living room yesterday for about an hour or so. If we go somewhere, however, she's still relegated to the kitchen and bathrooms (the whole "they have linoleum" thing). She eats like we deprive her and is getting a little tummy from all the wolfing she does. Her vocal cords definitely work. She still tries to nurse on my nose/chin/fingers/knuckles/toes. She's a pip and love and I'm so glad she's here.
I guess we're going up to the farm today. Hopefully this is the only time over the long weekend, else I'll lose my mind. I know MB's getting anxious to set off a trial run of some of the fireworks we got and honestly, so am I. Hope everyone's 4th is safe and happy!
Happy 4th!
