Got my EMT license.  Applied for local place yesterday.  Now, I wait.  It felt awkward filling out my work history as I haven't worked it so long.

 Random text from my mother:  My insurance will only cover me if I go to an urgent care or ER.

 

Wouldn't you think that was fishing for a ride to urgent care?

 

Nope, and apparently I was being unsupportive by firmly asking if that was what she wanted.  🤔

She'd have been equally unhappy if you hadn't asked...

Oh you got to love those texts. 

 

My sister (younger) texted me lecturing how our parents are old and I need to move back home. She goes on and one how I never call. (the phone works bother ways) and how if something happens I better not leave it all on her. Oldest sister is a useless junky. I told her I'm busy I have things to do and when I do call they are never home. They have call display and could easily call me back. They don't, plus when I do call my mother is always I'll call you back on skype on (insert day) it never happens. So I told her off. Also added that I will not be moving back to the SOO. 

 

She expects me to pack up all the kids and I mean all of them even the ones that have their own life and moved out🙄 Oh yes I can see how well that will work out for them.

I'm infertile (which was one of the reasons for my divorce, and my depression) and my mom (still) keeps pressuring me to have kids. In my head, I'm all like, "WITH WHOSE BODY!?!?!" I'm infertile, and my boyfriend Mr. Lobster is "snipped", so it's a double whammy, yo. No kids coming from us. Ever.

Not at that time, no. Cheaper to D.I.Y. if you know what I mean... :rofl:
