I don't talk to my sister-in-law.

There's no dramatic breach or anything, we just don't talk.

She has her own business, it's been struggling, and she and my brother have been busting their asses to make it work. I don't have a million dollars to invest, so I contributed the only way I could: I put together a branding package for print, web, video; etc. for Hannukah, and gave her free access, time to edit (everybody is an art director in their heart), hooked them up with printers for t-shirts; etc.

But when that was done, we went back to not talking.

She saw me this weekend at the brunch I put together for my old man, said nothing to me there either.

But is now texting me for help converting some things to Pantone colors, and is being very sort of... I don't know. The language and tone remind me of emails I get from clients. It's like a mix of passive/aggressive entitlement and superiority. Like "CAN YOU DO X, Y, Z, PICK UP MY DRY CLEANING AND DROP IT OFF AT MY SISTER'S? THANKS YOU'RE AWESOME OKAY BYE"

I dunno.

Maybe this is normal and I'm just a fucking weirdo.
