YEARS ago my mom found out about the sense of impending doom thing that my uncle and I get and she was like okay that sounds horrible is there anything that can be done and we’re like no we just gotta ride it out.

She wasn’t having that. She’s like no tell somebody and we can see what’s causing it. Even if we end up not finding the cause, it might help alleviate it.

So about 3 years ago I started letting her know right away when I felt it, and since then I’ve realized I can feel it before it gets to the impending doom stage.

Working with her on it for the last 3 years I’ve gotten to the point where I admit it out loud, I’m quickly able to pinpoint when it started and usually can come up with why.

So even before the actual impending doom feeling starts, I can already start working on it and sometimes avoid that next step.

The reason I bring this up is because today’s sense of impending doom was thwarted before it got full blown and it turned out to be due to the fact that I was going to have to tell the guy who is scheduled to work on our irrigation system next week that he can’t use the bathroom in our house because we’re not vaccinated and my dad has a communicable skin disease that we don’t want anybody else to get.

Turns out the guy doesn’t ever go into customers’ homes so it was a nonevent telling him anyway.

He did feel bad that my dad is in double quarantine though 🤣

mom: OH i was imagining this earlier - this is funny!

me: okay

mom: i’m dead, you’re alone, and you’re driving down the freeway in your fifth wheel with your dog, and you’ve got your “thinking outside the box” reminder on your dashboard

me *laughing so hard i scared the dog*:  WAIT you just said “this is funny - i’m dead and you’re alone!”

mom: no the funny part was you had this little reminder of me telling you to think outside the box right on your dashboard!

me: i know but we’re so weird that not only do we say stuff like this but we also think it’s funny like who does that?!

mom: people who have very boring lives and don’t laugh enough!

charlie (my uncle): those cock rings you guys told me to try really suck

madelyn (my mom): why?

charlie: the medium one seemed too loose because it let my dick get a little softer so i used the small one and now the base of my dick is sore

me: how long ago did that happen?

charlie: three days ago

me: yeah that’s not right you probably bruised your dick with a too-tight cock ring - why did you use the small one?!

charlie: well i’m short but fat so i figured-

madelyn: what does length have to do with diameter?!

charlie: ... i don’t know

me: let it heal for like a week and try again but use the medium one - all you’re trying to do is mildly restrict blood flow not choke your dick until it falls off

charlie: okay but they’re also hard to get off

me: oh well they’ve got ones with little handles on either side

madelyn: NO DON’T USE THOSE!!

charlie: this should be good

me: do tell!

madelyn: sometimes the handles rip off if you’re pulling out to the sides too far

charlie: how hard did you laugh at him?

me: and how mad did dad get when you laughed?

madelyn: he was too distracted by the pain to get mad at me but i was laughing hard enough i almost fell off the bed

My aunt carol (70 years old) who worked as a phlebotomist for years and as a medical transcriptionist for years told me over the phone yesterday that she was all excited Andre got his first Covid-19 vaccine that day because she was finally able to spend the day with him without a mask

and I’m like only his FIRST shot?! and he JUST got it?!

like you do know he has to have both of the shots and even then he’s gotta wait a couple weeks for HIM to be safe

but YOU’RE still not safe because YOU’RE not vaccinated?!

She was like yeah but he had the shot!

My mom overheard us and she said “does getting a flu shot help the guy next to you who didn’t get a flu shot?”

Aunt Carol was quiet for the longest time.

I said something about true herd immunity vs ONE person in your life who got ONE dose of a 2-dose vaccine for something when only about 60% of the US population is fully vaccinated for it and she was like

oh yeah that was stupid of me

The worst part is everyone else living in the house AND in Andre’s house thought the same thing.

And then they wonder why I refuse to let them in my house and why I’m still wearing a mask and staying away from people.

All my cousins suck. I keep thinking one of them might be redeemable, but they prove me wrong constantly.

Meagan (Marissa’s daughter and Charlie’s step-daughter) is an alcoholic who constantly gets herself into stupid shit.

Every boyfriend she’s ever had, and she’s had a lot, is pretty much the same guy.

Here’s how the relationship goes:

  • meet a guy who works/goes where you do
  • party with the guy whether he’s your boss, workmate, or whatever he’s doing in life
  • quickly move in with the guy either in his place or get a place together
  • decide you don’t want to party anymore and he shouldn’t either
  • play sick twisted mind games with him constantly until you drive him crazy or send him deeper into alcohol or drug addiction
  • continue being so ridiculous to everyone around you that you lose your job and the cops are called out to your place on a regular basis to get you to shut the fuck up and stop harassing the neighbors and their pets and stop passing out on their lawns or banging on their doors and windows screaming to be let in thinking it’s your place
  • suddenly freak out and cry to everyone who will listen that he’s “beating the crap out of me HELP!!” even though you never bruises (she bruises VERY easily) and your boyfriends are usually the ones with the bruises -- (her ex-husband had cuts on him and a split lip one time but he wouldn’t say why)
  • insist everyone drop everything and come rescue you immediately
  • stay with whoever “rescued” you, taking advantage of them, playing sick twisted mind games with everyone in the house, letting your dog shit and piss all over their house while you treat everyone like shit and fall back into alcoholism so badly that you throw up all over the house, pass out in random spots in the house, piss yourself regularly, and never clean up after yourself or your dog
  • if anyone complains, pull out your self-diagnosis of borderline personality disorder and use it as permission to treat people however you want
  • continue this until you get a new job
  • clean up enough and work hard enough for your employers to begin really liking you for a few weeks or even months
  • meet a guy who works/goes where you do

It’s the same exact thing every time. The only difference is where the guy lives.

  • All but two of the guys lived with their mother -- they didn’t pay their mothers anything or help out in any way and most of them had suspended licenses for drug/alcohol related issues and insisted their mothers drive them anywhere they wanted to go
  • Two of the guys slept IN THE SAME BED as their mothers
  • One of those mothers pinned a sheet to the ceiling and draped it down the middle of the bed so Meagan and her son could have privacy and there was no door on the bathroom that was in the same room with the bed -- Meagan said they didn’t fuck in the bed, but they did in the shower because it was more private
  • One guy lived on the open porch of his mom’s house (Meagan lived with him for about 4 months on the porch)
  • All of the guys have severe drug and/or alcohol addiction

So Charlie is on his way to Colorado (where she was sent to go to rehab) right now to pick Meagan up after she called last night claiming the guy she met in rehab (great place to meet amiright?) had “gone crazy” and was “beating the shit out of me.”

Charlie has a temper, a short fuse, and no filter since his brain injury, and he’s driving up there alone so that Marissa can take care of customers at the shop.

I have a feeling Charlie is going to end up arrested for a confrontation between himself and the rehab guy because ALL of Meagan’s boyfriends have been cocky little fuckers, and twice now the only reason Charlie wasn’t arrested for getting into confrontations with her boyfriends was because when the cops came Charlie was like yeah I screwed up here’s exactly what I did and why and he’s charming so they let him off with a warning.

Now he’ll be up there without Marissa, me, or Madelyn to keep him from doing stupid shit.

Oh and Meagan has been banned from living in Charlie’s house, my house, and all my other cousins’ houses except Dominic, her brother. Stupid guy offered to let her live with him while she gets back on her feet.

His wife of only a few months doesn’t really know Meagan, and now I’m worried this is going to end his marriage because yeah Meagan is that much of a mindfucker.

Here’s how our (my mom and I) first lab draw from in-home phlebotomist went.

  • dude was covered in sweat and complaining that his car was breaking down and he couldn’t use the A/C
  • i had to ask him to put a mask on
  • he had to search through his car for a mask that was on the floor in the back of the car
  • he wasn’t sure how many tubes he needed to fill for the tests my mom and i needed so he looked it up on his phone while we waited
  • he used ONE pair of gloves for both my mom and i and kept wiping is forehead, hair, and neck to get rid of the sweat dripping
  • as he was taking the blood, he was whipping the full tubes into his bag
  • once all the tubes from both of us were tossed in the bag he was like “oh I guess I should’ve labeled those” pulled them back out and labeled them
  • the pads he used to bandage us were in the bottom of his bag and not packaged
  • he forgot that we needed urine samples, so he went back out to his car and searched the back seat and the trunk for a container, all without changing his gloves and neither the container nor the specimen bag were packaged or sealed
  • he couldn’t figure out how to note on the papers that a copy needed to be sent to my primary doc so i called my doc and got the fax number for him
  • after he left his car actually did break down
  • he left the car there for an unknown amount of time and had his “friend” pick up the bag of blood tubes and take them to a lab for him
  • he’s tried calling us a bunch of times trying to get us to give him more info because “the lab needs to be paid for this” but he lost all our information so they can’t bill our insurance company for it

I haven’t given him any more info, and when I called the company that employs him, they said very dismissively “yeah we’ll look into that.” The woman couldn’t have sounded less concerned or surprised by the whole thing, and I doubt she even did anything about it.

The second time we got it done it was with GetLabs.com, and I very highly recommend them!

They’re only in about 3 states right now, but they were super professional, very nice, and the woman that came to do the lab draw was really calm and patient with my mom, who had recently had a seizure. She also very carefully labeled everything and had me check everything before she left.

She had biohazard containers, changed her gloves frequently, wiped down everything, and packed it all so our stuff didn’t get mixed up.
