I don't feel enlightened yet. I'm not impatient, I don't expect trying new things to yield instant results. I'm just saying, I don't feel any different.
Today was an OK day. Beside the fact that my mom said she'd be here at 10, didn't call until 2:30 and showed up at 3:00. Then she didn't leave until 7. Don't get me wrong, I love my mom, but I am currently receiving the "almost silent" treatment. In case you're not familiar with it, it's this thing that Catholic mothers - at least MY Catholic mother- do when they want to guilt their children into doing what they think is best for them. And currently what her children are doing is not what she thinks is best for them. So she retaliates by monopolizing my weekend by making plans on both Saturday and Sunday to help my brother move his stuff in (this is the point of contention, as by moving in with me he is moving away from her,) insisting that I be here to help, and then making us wait all day. Yesterday she even parked so that she blocked my car in. She knew I had dinner plans, so she showed up right before I was leaving and blocked me in. This is not healthy. I am aware.
I feel OK about today though. C is looking for a place right now. That is promising. It won't mean anything until he actually moves out, but at least he's starting the process. I am hopeful that he will be out by the end of the month.
Maybe I'll feel enlightened in the morning :)
