My daughter apparently arranged via email for my mother to come visit this summer. My mother has been calling me asking when a good time would be. I'm debating between "never" and "when I'm drunk enough to deal".

I forgot tomorrow is Mother's Day. Ah well, at least I still have time to get her a card.
Not that I think the crazy, spoiled, stubborn, tantrum throwing, bitch who wishes I wasn't her daughter and thinks mental disorders are for the weak and lazy, deserves it but I still live here.
got the full scoop on my grandfather. apparently the stuff they pumped out of his stomach was "like motor oil". my grandmother and uncle were going batty for a few days there but he seems to be making a full recovery after not being able to eat anything for 3 weeks.
my dad has brain damage and oscillates between being unable to speak or formulate meaningful thoughts and having the mental capacity and personality of a 7 year old with a few ever-rarer bursts of clarity now and then
my mom is perpetually stressed out because her job is hard and taking care of my dad is hard and even if those things weren't true she makes a federal god-damn issue out of every little thing that goes wrong and she thinks that it is okay to use me as someone to constantly vent to while simultaneously dismissing all of my problems as not actually being important and just on a general sort of level i think she has a difficult time grasping the notion of being empathetic to others
she helps me make funny things on the internet sometimes though
My uncle just put his house on the market, is packing up a few basic things and his dog and is about to just... go somewhere
He's crashing with me for a night next week and then he'll just be out walking the earth
This is... maybe the sixth time he's done this?

It's my younger sister's birthday, so she's home with her friends, and everything is hunky-dory. She just had an interview, and she really liked the place, so we have our fingers crossed. My older sister loves her job, and her husband really likes his new job as well. Since I live with my parents, their favorite sport is "Figure out ways to annoy our son". I just need to come up with the ambition to get a job that is a career, and not work at the grocery any more.

My mother has a live-in-dudefriend. I hate calling a 60+ year-old man my Mom's boyfriend. It sounds terrible. Anyway, he injured his foot badly on the job a couple years ago. He also has diabetes, and you know that age+diabetes+foot injuries = bad times.
He struggled with a wound that just wouldn't heal properly for the last year. My Mom has been nursing him back to health through everything. But it looks like now he might have to lose the foot.
Other than that, things are fine I guess.
My father is getting older and I pretty certain he is hiding medical problems from me and the rest of the family.

I'm at a bar in SF. Y'all house visit sometime. I assure you it'll be more interesting than the family vacations we did as kids :-P

We aren't necessarily trying to have a child, but we have decided to remove the barriers that would prevent a child from happening.
If it happens, it happens.

One of my greatest friends ever's daughter posted a picture of her mother on facebook.
Her mother died of pancreatic cancer about 8 years ago.
I just lost my shit.
