Damn I'm tired

I feel bad that I only talk to Dad once or twice per week now. It's mainly because it sounds like it's a lot of effort for him to even speak since he's breathing heavier and it's difficult to understand what he says. I honestly wonder if he's going to make it to the end of the year. We'll see. Anyway, his 88th birthday is next Sunday the 13th and I ( Read more... )

Siblings; can't live with them and there's no decent exchange rate.

As you can tell from my "motto", I know how you feel (I have two siblings, one is married and the other is going to get remarried to his ex-wife [who I can't stand])

I've never been so glad that they live states away.

It's far more worth it to make your own family, it really is.

It'll let up sometime, I'm sure. And with the siblings, at least I don't bother to get my hopes up, though seeing things like Sis just outright ignoring him makes me roll my eyes.

Thanks *hugs* I was going to do cake or cookies but then I remembered about how he doesn't like sweets much anymore. Our family loves bagels so I hope everything arrives safe and they get it all prepared for him.

Bagels sounds like a fun alternative to a cake. Pffffft to your sister and bosslady.

Bosslady is doing the world's worst attempt at gaslighting the faculty member throwing the biggest hissy fit and after letting me get tossed under the bus and me defending her crap plan, now she's going to meet with him and his chair and...not have me there.

Y'know what? Fiiiiine. I hope the Provost's office gets off their ass to give her an offer so she goes away. Ugh.

I hope Dad likes it. We are big bagel fans so hopefully he remembers

Your sister is something else.

Ain't she, though? I wonder if she's going to ignore Thanksgiving and Christmas for him too?
