Yeah, it's probably all exacerbated by the fact I stopped to pick up something from my mother yesterday. My mother in law is receiving a big humanitarian award next week, and there was an article in the newspaper about it, so my mother called to say she was saving it for me. I stopped by when my sister's family was gone to pick it up. My mother had to tell me all about my sister's new purebred cat (a weirdly proportioned Siamese who is actually a really sweet baby), my sister's new job she is doing so great at, how great my niece and nephew are doing in school (which I know is a lie). My old bike that I left in the basement when I left for college, that my sister decided she wanted for her kids and refused to give back to me, was in the yard completely trashed. My sister and her husband have done weird stuff "remodeling" my parents' home, and my mother appears to have gained even more weight. I was actually googling photos of women who weigh 300 pounds versus 400 pounds to try to guess what she weighs now. I'm guessing at least 350. Which would just make me sad if she were not so horrible and lazy. Seriously, for several years now she has been wearing adult diapers just so she doesn't have to get up to go to the bathroom.
Sorry. I should just get to work and stop thinking about stuff like this.
