family update (+), ph (hopefully mild -)
had a big ol' italian-style mutal bitch session with mom, about damn near every topic on earth, from the general suckiness of the DNC to the staggering selfish idiocy of my
stepsister to the enduring golden-girl awesomeness of my niece
mom is still full of piss and vinegar and her sterling sense of humor is untarnished. she's gonna be ok i think. at least until the next shoe drops. *shrug*
meanwhile my throat is getting scratchy and i'm very nervous... could easily be the fact my parents smoke and the household reeks, or lingering vaxx effects, or just the usual sinus fuckery, but... yeah. would NOT appreciate the irony of being the one to bring omicron home.
