I hate trying to fall asleep Sunday nights. I can never manage it at a decent hour. I suppose it wouldn’t be so bad if I didn’t stay up late the two nights before, but I have always been a night owl and there’s something refreshing about embracing what comes natural to me on the weekends. *sigh* At least Monday mornings I let myself indulge in a Mocha. 👌🏻

I have a friend who has been kind enough to let me stay at her home tonight as she lives in the rough area of my road trip destination. It’s been great hanging with her, but she’s living with her parents right now who smoke and who’s mom at least is clearly pretty darn conservative. Woops. Didn’t mean to walk into the convo we had and just. Ho boy. I don’t even have words for that conversation. And I’m gonna be so smelly tomorrow 😭

Preparing for a (short, well over 3 hour) road trip and ugh. I am so not a fan of them. I don’t care for driving, get easily motion sick, and have no sense of direction and feel a bit anxious when I’m away from home. I’m not sure I’ve spent more than a single night away from home in a couple years >.< I hate trying to figure out what I’ll need and the logistics of them. Like I have no small containers of body wash but don’t want to bring a whole bottle?? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Thankfully I have plenty of audiobooks! And I made sure to fill the tank today. Got a car charger (phone) and a back up charger pack which I’m filling up now!

Just had workers at a store collect a mound of jeans for me to try on after my mom explained to them my preferences (I was skeptical of my mom’s assertion that these women would make jeans shopping easy) and only one pair absolutely did not fit. And they even brought me a couple of men’s jeans. I left that store with three pairs (a lot for me), and two of them were the men jeans #success. It’s been a good day!

Like people not being used to it where I live, I can understand that. But thinking it’s messed up??

To add some context, the woman is dealing with some shit and she’s taking it out on my mom — which my mom 100% does not deserve from her. This woman has kids on the cusp of adulthood who don’t get along with her/she doesn’t get along with them, and I’m betting the reality is that she’s incredibly jealous but also judgmental in the sort of way that’s like, ‘if I had the opportunities you did, I wouldn’t mess them up like you are,’ and it is entirely wrong of her.

From time to time, I get weird looks from people when I talk about the living arrangements of my mom and sister. My sister and brother in law have a decent sized home that has included a mother in law suite in it. My mom and her husband live in that suite and are helping to raise my sister’s two young kids and intend to live there indefinitely.

Most people have to take a moment to process it as something not worth remarking on. Apparently tho my mom’s childhood friend doesn’t think it’s right and the two of them got in a big fight this weekend. What the fuck is wrong with people?? Apparently my mom ‘talks to her grandkids’ too much and all she’s teaching her grandson is that ‘he can reach you whenever he wants.’ Of course my mom’s response was, ‘you’re damn right that’s what I’m teaching him!’

Just holy shit.

My niece and nephew are so freaking well cared for because they essentially have four parental figures and that’s awesome and it’s a damn shame that this society taught us that it’s not cool. Wtf ughggjgghsj

You people who keep a clean, uncluttered home… how?? Haha. I’m assuming not hoarding helps. But still! Where to put all the things!!

This is actually brilliant. I feel almost silly never thinking of it. I don’t know how much of my clutter is actually this, but I definitely have a few things. Thanks haha (‾̀◡‾́)
