Thanks, Jenn. I'm going to the grocery tomorrow--I think I will get a pack of those donuts; I've not had any in a long, long time.
As for the other characters who are ^&*(g your life with all this drama- you can not save someone determined to drown, --yes, yes, a thousand times yes. I've known this for a long time, and I've given up on trying to help my brother until he asks for me to help him--he has to want to help himself before he can accept help from anyone. Unfortunately, my Nana doesn't grasp that, and she keeps wavering between helping him (like with the lease--being on the streets in Ohio in January would've sobered him up, literally and figuratively, right quick) and saying that she can't help him because he has to want to get help. She's the one I'm most worried about.
My husband is awesome--I literally don't know what I would do without him. We've been together since we were 14, and we're now 26. He's my best friend and my soulmate. I could gush about him for days--I'm an incredibly lucky woman to have him in my life.
Being in OK has been the best decision ever. Well, maybe not living in OK (it's so HOT!) but moving out of Ohio has definitely been the best thing we've done. I was constantly wound up with stress in Ohio (funny enough, my IBS hasn't flared up once since we've lived here--it only flares up when we go back to Ohio. Coincidence? I think not) because of the constant drama, but here, I can stick my fingers in my ears or just go mmhmm when someone calls about more drama.
I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. I hope that things are as well as they can be for you and for her.
