Like I wrote the other day, I KNEW other people saw my grandmother differently than I did. But it's mind boggling exactly how different. It sucks that her children and grandchildren were the only ones treated to all the judgement and anger and attempts at control.

So, yeah, let her church mourn Bubbles. If I mourn anything, it's that I was never allowed to meet Bubbles.

Today I learned the kids at my grandmother's church called her Bubbles because she was so full of cheer and kindness. It's hard to reconcile that with the woman who yelled at me when I was 13 for being weird and unworthy of having friends because I kept reading science fiction. She CHASED me to my room screaming about how I needed to get out of her sight because she couldn't stand to see me ruining myself like that. Ruining myself reading Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy... Yeah. #familyissues

Less than 24 hours, and the freshly deep-cleaned kitchen is already starting to show neglect and bad lazy maintenance.

I can be quite tolerant and let pass ten badly done things. But a hundred is too much, especially when they're the same things I've already explicitly reminded about, or when they're basic common-sense things that are simply ignored or neglected.

I'm a 4 hour plane ride away from any family.

I desperately miss them and want to move home, but I don't exactly thrive with them around.

Can anybody else relate?

What I want is to subscribe to a farmers group that will deliver weekly vegetable and fruit bundles, and then I will cook healthy satisfying meals based on what's in the bundle. What I want is to have time & energy to cook and have a kitchen that is not a nightmare. (Context: I've been driven out of the kitchen by horrible hygiene, habits, and management issues with my mom. Plus, long covid. Plus, full-time work.) #struggles #supportLocalFarmers #FamilyIssues #MentalHealth #wellbeing #wishlist
