Happy Thanksgiving….I think

so against my better judgement

I leave work

and pick up my mother…aka the VOD

and my nephew

and we drive in the little red ladybug

up to Courtenay

to spend Thanksgiving

with my bother

his new partner

and my neice



I’d rather lay on the couch

and fight the cold

I have been fighting

courtesy of the VOD

but I digress

so we get her

and the woman my bother

is now living with

is half lit

and shit wouldn’t melt in her mouth

she does however take several shots

at the fadder

although

the fadder ain’t here

to defend himself…



I figure that’s odd

but I’ll hold back judgement



we go to bed

and get up this morning

to a war zone



she’s pissed at my bother

and slamming doors

washing floors

and shreiking



I says to my bother

on an aside

“this is the first time

I’ve been in your home

since she moved in

and frankly

I don’t see much difference

between being here with her

and being here with your ex

either way

we are made to be

uncomfortable”



he says

“funny how that works”



I says…”there’s an answer in there”



he says “ya me!”



I swear….

if my mother was awake

we’d be going back to Victoria

right now

cos he’s gone to work for the day

and she’s locked herself in her bedroom…



this ain’t what I signed on for!



but again

it has me ask the question

what the fuck is it about people

that makes them so sure that they need

to be in a relationship?

what is so lacking in the bother’s life

that he’s got to move some shrew

into his house

just to not have to sleep alone?



I don’t get it?

and I no longer think

that it’s a problem in the way I think

I know it’s not

cos I’m not living like this….



Happy Thanksgiving

I think.
