Hello 2017

Hello Everyone:

Happy New Year. Day one of 2017 and the sky hasn't fallen, yet. The holiday has been chilly as in it's cold. Well it is winter. Mom's on freak out mode because the oven died and we have company coming over in a little over an hour. The food still has to be warmed and just popping large platters of food in the microwave will not work. To make matters more annoying, for me, mom is behaving like a toddler that demands constant attention. I was just thinking the other day that I have spent most of my adult life taking care of needy adults. Not by choice, mind you, by circumstance. No matter how much I try to remove myself from the situation, they find me. Whether it's he evil ex or mom. Although, the evil ex has been completely out of my life for years. Mom, on the other hand, needs a full time nanny. She cannot let me even complete a thought without making some demand. Like just now. In he middle of writing down a thought, she needed something non-urgent to be done right away.  If that's not enough, she's incessantly carrying on about the oven. Granted this is a problem but she already called maintenance but can't be patient enough to wait for them. No one likes cold food, salad being the exception but at least she didn't do her usual ignore-it-and-hope-it'll-go-away-on-it's-own routine. Happy freakin New Year.
