What I’d rather be doing right now is being on the ocean in a yacht, with only my mom and sis (and our kitties would be fine too lol). I’d be having an open convo with my sis, letting her know I really need for us to please always communicate to each other in as respectful, supportive and loving of a way as we possibly can.

Also, to please understand that nagging or demanding to know “when” I’m gonna do something she thinks I should do is not a remotely effective technique with me, never has been and never will be, and that I’d appreciate it if she would not ever do that again. Giving me info and advice about things is fine, but after that, just leave it up to me please.

Sounds controlling. . . JMG (@yo' Sis!)~* ;)
Guess they need, "Peace of mind!"
Lol, yup, for sure. She was never like that before, so again it is my wonderful bil’s influence on her for sure. Ya, if only there was some way I could literally “give them” both peace of mind, I definitely would so they would calm down and chill out about things a bit. I don’t think either of them even know what “relax” truly means, must be a miserable existence. I mean I struggle with relaxing at times too for sure, but I would definitely never be asking her/them “if they were gonna do ____ tomorrow then?” like wtf, wow. There’s caring, and then taking that way too far into “controlling” territory, which is not cool or right at all. Had really believed she had a much higher intelligence/understanding of me than that, but again, his pea brained influence I guess :/

Thanks, ya I’m doing my best to stay focused on the “good” parts of the visit there (which, to be fair, was “most” of it, aside from Sunday) and to not keep ruminating on the things she said on Sunday. Yup you’re right about it always being nice to spend time with pets and play fun games.

Awesome about possibly playing some board games with your mom later, I should see if my friend comes over tonight if they might want to play Scrabble or something. Haven’t played that one in a while, last time was with my kitty (she won, lol, ya I kinda suck at it or just have bad luck with the letters maybe, who knows lol) but it can sometimes take a lot of brainpower so maybe cards would be better. Anyway, I hope you got to play some fun games with your mom :)

Oh wow that is funny about that neighbor guy saying exactly what you were thinking like that. Glad he gave your mom a ride too, that was nice of him. Cool that you like freeze dried candy too, ya it’s so yummy. I wish it was a bit cheaper too, if it was then I definitely woulda gotten double the amount I got instead of just the 4 bags of it (one was bigger, the others were all smaller). Thanks though, ya I got some cute dinosaur valentines too so will be giving those out to sis, friend and maybe kitty too lol :p

Ok, thanks for saying no worries, I really appreciate that a lot :) Sorry to hear you’ve been in bed a lot and that it starts to make your back hurt, I hope that will all improve soon. It’s understandable about being in bed a bit more though cos of the things that have happened recently, so I hope you’re being gentle with yourself at this challenging time. I understand about wanting to be with those you care about right now, I hope you will be able to see your sis and nephew soon at least :)
You can tell your sister and brother in law to fuck off...well not really, because it might make things worse. But you can do it in your mind whenever they talk. :P I have the board game version of Scrabble but it can be nice to play online as well. I just need more opponents because it's usually against one friend and it's not too often. They sell freeze dried candy at the fair but it's like $10 for a normal sized bag and it's a bit out of my budget. My mom said she saw some in the dollar store but it's not there anymore. There were some cute valentines in there too but I don't have many people to give them to so most of them would go to waste. I mean I could give one to my older nephew, but his birthday falls on the same day, and I usually would just get him a birthday card. I could give one to my younger nephew, but he won't get what it's about, and maybe my sister would find it corny if I gave her one. :P

It’s damn tempting to say pretty much just that at times, but would feel way too guilty to ever really say it “to them” of course (pretty sure they’d never forgive me if I did, lol) so ya, in my head is better/safer like you said ;)

That’s cool that you have the board game version of Scrabble, I do too. I think there might be a Scrabble app on facebook, it’s easier to add friends that way usually, I used to just go on the app “page” for games I played and post a reply to whatever post there saying “add me” I’d usually get lotsa friends pretty quickly that way. I’ve never played online games with people I “knew” pretty much, or I’d definitely always pretty much be playing them “alone” which would really suck, lol :p

That’s cool they sell freeze dried candy at the fair too, and ya that’s the price the “bigger” bag was that I bought too I think. Not cheap, but maybe it’s expensive to have a freeze dryer or whatever machine is needed to do that freeze drying, who knows lol.

Aw about the valentines, well a thing I sorta “left out” (didn’t want to seem too “sad” I guess, lol) before is…I also bought a Vday card for myself, and made a valentine thing out to myself, both “from my cat” but there’s been years where I just made the card and valentine from myself too. It’s a fun thing to do, and I actually end up feeling a bit similar to if I’d been given it by “someone else”, it surprised me actually cos I thought I would just feel lame and sad doing that, but I didn’t. I do it every year now. It’s more fun to make it be from my cat, but it’s fun either way really :)

I’m gonna be mailing my sis a Vday card with the valentine just “inside” it, so perhaps you could do the same thing with your nephew? Just an idea of course ;) I’m sure he’d love to get both a bday card and Vday card from you. Aw about younger nephew and sis, well I guess it’s up to you but I think it’d be a fun thing to do, especially if you are really wanting to give some out. If she has a baby book she keeps for him then she’d probably keep the valentine in it, so years later he can look at it and see how thoughtful you were, even when he was too young to understand about it ;)

It can be tempting for sure when people are annoying you, but it's better off not to actually say it because that would probably make things worse. Even if it would be fun to say it. :P I think my sister got the board game for Christmas one year, and I'm not sure if some tiles are missing or not. But I can still make do with what I have. I used to play that on Facebook too and there's other sites where you can play it for free. I think that's a cool idea, and it's nice to do things for yourself. I could send him a card, don't know exactly where he lives now though but hopefully I can see him in person at some point soon. I had a box of valentines but I left them out for other people because I didn't use them. So hopefully someone else can get a good use out of them.

Yup, exactly for sure. That’s part of why I love satirical kinds of things, and stand up comedy, cos they will just say those kinds of things with no filter at all. Very enjoyable to just watch it being “played out” and imagining being able to just say things so openly/honestly to people like that :p

That’s cool that your sis has Scrabble, and ya it’s easy to lose those little tiles sometimes lol. Cool that you used to play it on fb too. Thanks, and ya I agree it’s nice to do things for yourself. Aw yup, sending him a card or giving in person both sound good. Sorry to hear about not using those valentines, but that’s nice of you that you left them out for other people to use, I’d want to do the same.

I like that too, and I guess I've always used humor to help deal with things, especially sarcasm and things like that. Makes it easier in some ways to cope with unpleasant situations. Well she left the game here when she moved out but I haven't played it for a long time. Maybe I can play it later.

Cool, and ya me too a lot of the time. Agreed on it making it easier to cope with unpleasant things. Cool about the game, that sounds good.
