2673headache inducing convo w/sineater

[brother A] asked sineater to bring Paulie to Thanksgiving. sineater said NO, Paulie
is NOT your dog anymore. sineater is concerned it's going to be An
Issue, esp. since sineater and skye_ds re bringign the bird, in hopes that
ARthur will be so interesting to rubber_pig that it will keep her quiet.
WTF.
More crazy.
skye_ds in the background, bitching about her fam, spouting legal bs
re: [brother A] & [rubber pig]'s marriage, the child custody thing, bla bla.
[skye]'s mom is apparently telling her to apologize for [her brother] for
keying his truck last time she saw him, which [skye] and [sineater] both feel is
childish, out of all the things that have passed between them, to
demand an apology for one that is pretty much the least egregious (in
[skye]'s mind) seems to indicate that [her brother] has not 'grown'...which is
apparently code for 'rolled over and let [skye] walk all over him' as
evidenced by recent posts re: the polydinner politics blowout.
what.ever.
I tried to ask sineater to ask [skye] not to mention the particulars about the
wine (cost, mostly) and [skye] said it hadn't even occurred to her. Well,
I hope she doesn't. It will be embarassing for me if she makes some
comment like "for 60 bucks this better be good!" I tried to frame it
as "I want to see what people think about it before I tell them
anything about it"...which I don't think sineater conveyed. Gotta love
the he said she said bullshit. I was trying to be politic & tactful
and make it more like [skye] and I were sharing a delightful secret rather
than I'm trying ot keep [skye] from committing a dreadful faux pas, but I
think the way it conveyed sounded more like faux pas.
ugh.
Anyway...we are stressing about the baby the pregnancy the marriage,
custody, Mom's behavior, etc etc. And we just don't need to. Granted,
I am still hurt by Mom's seeming willingness to dump her life when
[brother A] needs her as opposed to her attitude toward my endometriosis
surgery & ovary removal....but it's all past, and nothing to be done
about it now...so why be all [skye] and keep feeling old hurt like it
happened yesterday. It can't be un-done, it can't be fixed. It's over.
And, trutfully, I didn't need Mom, and [brother A] & rubber_pig probably really
do.
Tomorrow will be fine. [sineater] and [skye] have made an agreement among
themselves (and Arthur presumably) that they will just leave if rubber_pig
gets nasty. I really hope that is the case. It would suck for sineater to
miss out on visiting with family because of stupid shit, but better
for all concerned, I think. rubber_pig is going to force a rift between
[brother A] and his family, regardless, so why give her any ammo?
They asked me if I planned to be at L&B's past sunset, I said
no...but asked why they wanted to know and they didn't have any kind
of answer. That was pretty bizarre and fucked up. NO idea what that
was about.
I imagine A will be on best behavior, though. And hopefully sineater can
manage to get in a nice visit w/[brother A] again.
I don't care. I'm going to help [aunt L], visit w/[sister H] & [uncle B], and we're
getting [cousin B] on Friday and L, B, [sister H] & [cousin B] are coming to our house
Sunday for turkey & sides. (I made taters & green been casserole on
Tuesday, being bored and freaky...I hope they are not bad by Sunday.
ick. why did I do that????)
I need to clean house. There is a very bad odor near the lazy
boy/bookshelf area, there is dust, and of course there is [Sweetie]'s shit.
He bailed on me while I was on the phone w/sineater so I did not have a
chance to ask him (again) for help. I did tell him Sunday for the
turkey & stuff, so he knows I want a clean table to serve on. Hell if
worse comes to worse, I'll put up one of my work tables and we can
eat around that.
But I do need to vacuum and try to find the shit or puke or whatever
the fuck is reeking in the LR.
Suspect cats getting under or into furniture and shitting there. yay.
