#tiredofthis

She saw all the dishes soaking in the sink (because she ran the dishwasher too early & without consulting me) and decided to wash them by hand. Great, except her definition of ‘clean’ is much lower than any other civilized person’s definition. Now she’s unloading the dishwasher (which gets about 70% of the dishes/cups/glasses/silverware clean to my standard) and she doesn’t even look at things to see if they’re clean. That’s why I very regularly grab a dish or a cup out of the cupboard and have to go over and clean it. And then I have to clean the things under it because there’s probably food on that too.

I can’t tell her to stop because she doesn’t look at things and make sure they’re clean because she won’t remember that for 10 minutes, let alone for next time.

It makes me crazy.

Add in my sensory issues and the loud banging around and constant mumbling to herself … I’m losing it.

Tv volume is at 30, which is 2x higher than anyone not already HoH needs. I've started using earplugs to be in the room with her.

Now she's ranting about having to take her pain meds... yes, when you have neuropathy & square dance 2-3x a week & insist on doing your own gardening & your own housework, that's going to cause your legs to hurt & you DEFINITELY WILL need to take your pain meds.

If you want to cut out some of the meds, you must cancel out some of the activities. Your pick.

Also, my niece graduated HS today... she lives far away & panini means we couldn't be there, but we watched the live stream.

She's trying to text the granddaughter & struggling because she can't make the phone type "aunt Robin" - maybe her phone knows that the kids don't call me that. They never have. I sign things Aunt Robin, but that's as much as it gets used. Stop insisting. If I, the actual aunt in question, do not care to insist on my title, wtf should you?!? It's weird.

She actually asked if they know I'm their aunt!
