I started to get heated, but I looked and saw the passenger seat wasn't leaned-back so that's good, but why does it smell suspicious in here? She *did* just get the car cleaned, so I looked around and saw the new air freshener hanging from the rear-view.

She asked me later if I liked how the car smelled, talking about "I thought you'd like the air freshener, it has a musky smell!"

Just told her it was a little strong, and left it at that, lol.

Instead of going to one centralized place for pictures of kids and wishing happy birthday to people I got everyone wanting to start a whatsapp group which I am expected to be up to date on. SMH.

I definitely don't feel like a Kit but it's a cool nickname lol

Undergrad. Never graduated. I’m 38.

I was in the military for a few years after high school and I first attended college full time after I got out of the military. Had a few lackadaisical years in between but now I’m back at it.

I feel old and I’m ready for it to be over. I don’t feel like doing the work. I’m a double major with about a year left after this semester. Some kind of science is one of my majors; I have labs, do not wanna do nothing. A lot of papers due, not looking forward to writing.

Trying to get motivated and leave my mark on the world. Seems dreary.

On a semi related note, I miss smoking cigars.

push through.

my mom went back to school in her late 40’s after I graduated HS.

I've got a co-worker who constantly apologizes for cursing...only when he is in the presence of women. The women have noticed. That's low-key sexist right?

The funny thing is I think I curse less, especially at work, in the presence of women but the apologizing part calls it out and is extra. What do you think?

they're adults like he is. he's attempting to be 'respectful' in his head, but kinda making them less than.

my level of cuss words is sometime dependent on my environment. like much less at work, but nothing to do with the women.

they offered 2 months. I want 3 so I’m going to ask for 4.

universe has been working in my favor lately and now its grind time.

There's a long rant in the subtext, but for the most part I'm good.

who is supposedly my mom's friend, but I have never met before thinks it's horrible that my mom is at times home alone. she thinks i should put her in a nursing home and she wants to help me find a nursing home for her.

i think she is only saying this because she wants me to sell my mom's house and to give her the listing (she is a realtor).

And think they can help others avoid that. It's also just as likely that this woman has seen the bad cases
- listing homes people have died in
- folks being alone and not prepared to transition
- family members being left to deal with an asset as they deal with grief

etc

And with this being her kinda friend, who knows.
But there are definitely predators out there. So it's always important to look out for your kin first. So good on you.

I have been on high alert... LOL!

unless she is also open to having someone come to the home to help your mom

tell her that even if my mom goes into a nursing home and we sell the house she is not going to get the listing and see if she still wants to help... LOL!

and see how she responds.

she is 86 and has all kinds of health problems (parkinsons, congestive heart failure, diabetes, lost vision in her left eye from a vein occlusion) and parkinsons induced psychosis.

but i'm working 3 days a week. i got family medical leave (FMLA). i also have a home aid to come in twice a week. she is home alone only 1 day a week and I call her many times a day to make sure she is okay, I have a video camera I can monitor her with and a medical alert necklace.

this woman has only visited her once in the 2.5 year that I have moved in to take care of her and dropped off some realtor brochures.

i have had many other friends, family, social workers, visiting nurses come and see my mom. none have said she should be in a nursing home. most have said she is lucky to have me taking care of her.

at 86, that one day is a bit of a problem based on all the health problems.

but I still don't trust that lady

I as a lawyer stepped in and handled things
my kids replaced the SIL in the will lol
