CW: Coming out, parents, waiting (~,~) 

Finally sent my coming out email to my mom on my uptime anniversary date (July 6th, if anyone was curious) and then tried to call her on Friday like I said i would. But it was my parent's anniversary, and they were out at dinner, so they weren't exactly in a good spot to talk about all my stuff. Which I totally get and don't begrudge them for.

But I also tried to set up time to talk over the weekend, and basically got no response.

Because Mom is trying to get the house clean for health inspection so that Dad can do dialysis at home. Cause he just had his little shunt ports implanted on the 3rd.

Again, no begrudgement on my part for that. He's 60+ and hasn't been in the best shape when I was living with them.

But now I've got to wait all week til Friday again to have this out with Mom, and waiting just fills my buffers with anxiety and catastrophe data. which sucks to try and clear from my caches, cause its stubborn and has very long TTL timers.
