And a whole bunch of links.
Hiiii I’m alive, screentime is downnnn this week. I’m having an extremely offline week. So offline I haven’t even been on TikTok. Actually, I’ve been on TikTok, but just in the comments. Honestly, there really hasn’t been anything worth chatting about on TikTok anyway, right? Maybe October is the start of my ‘meh’ era, but this week’s stunts just aren’t hitting like they should. Beyonce might change that tonight though.
Anyway, I’m in Pennsylvania at the moment visiting my grandma and every visit here usually requires manual labor and spending thousands of dollars winterizing her old, sinking house, scheduling appointments with plumbers, haulers, and exterminators, deep cleaning every surface, linen, wall, and floor, and suffering through endless arguments with her about everything. Not everything used to be an argument, but she’s 88 now, and everything is an argument. I’m realizing I come from a line of mean women. More accurately, it might be depressed, therapy-resistant stubborn women with meanness as the primary symptom. It’s a generational curse my mother hasn’t quite broken, but one that I definitely will. No blaming my kids (or plants or pets) for my financial or health issues. No demanding that they step into a role to “parent the parent” or making them a responsible party for my own behavior. No matter how convenient blame-splitting may be. No gossip. No storage of abandonment threats in my consequence arsenal. Therapy For All 2024. 🇺🇸
Appreciate youuuuu!
