Quick update

Day out with my aunt and her best friend. Lunch on the water. Movie then coffee

Dinner and wine. Lots of good chatting.

Mum phoned. We ignored it at first while we figured out the battle plan. She wants to come up here Tuesday night before I leave. Nope.

At first I got tricked into thinking she was sensible again and maybe *this* time would be different. But we know better. We told her no. 3pm at the outlet near the airport. Not good enough for her. I conceeded to 12 which knocks my brother out. Gotta figure that out.

But various things she said about not being able to see me now or tues evening along with unrelated topics made me realize she hasn’t changed. Always about her. Always manipulating and etc to get what she needs or wants. No matter about others.

But that’s what I know. I know I get sucked back in with hope and thinking she’s talking sense again. Nope. Never.

She hasn’t changed. And won’t. Without something happening.

But this time has been great. Good to hear my aunts side. To hear about all sorts of things. For her to hear my side. She’s really awesome.

Tomorrow shes busy at work so it’s a lazy day for me. Then tues is nails etc and then meeting dad in the middle of the city and here for dinner. Then wed is the drama.

Phones are off. Mom can do what she wants. But we answer once. That’s it. She leaves voicemails. The latest was about a product she wanted me to help her locate. Nope. Sorry - not ringing because its not about that. Or it’ll be my fault for cleaning your “hoarders” bathroom and losing one damn product. Which may well be in your “hoarders” car or your “hoarders” bedroom.

It’s sad but none of us are getting sucked in again.
