Anyway woke up this morning to my mother texting me at 4am her time that she woke up from a nightmare alone in the house smelling smoke and hearing a strange noise and there was probably a small kitchen fire from the fridge short-circuiting and she’s unplugged everything and she thought she had a fire extinguisher but she doesn’t and anyway I ask myself what am I doing what am I doing what am I doing. How are the eldest daughters (by title not gender) toDAY.
#my brother lives 20 min away from her by the way#twenty minutes by car. WAS I owed an ally in this? no one is owed much but dignity#so I guess not. I guess not#whewwwwww I’m gonna go take a one hour lunch or something#like ten years ago mom and I drove thru Appalachia and I joked that I was going to have a wife named Hannah and live around here in another#life. and it was a little edged bc I was newly out to her but lol man I think Hannah would understand that I needed to drive south for#another weekend#or maybe our alternate universe marriage is strained by my family slowly sliding into nervous unhappiness#that’s up to AU wife Hannah#right it’s an hour lunch and I can have the bad sushi
