For your entertainment (?), I present to you:
A timeline of "Mother drama" for the past couple weeks:
(read as if mother is talking)
* So sick...so sick...need someone to get groceries. (problem solved, when sister went)
...merged immediately into...
* So sick...so sick...need someone to take over the bills. (We ignored the request, so this begging drama went on for days and then turned into....)
* So sick...so sick...need to tell you important information about the bills. Come talk to me. Come to my house. Can't tell you over phone or in email. Come over. (Days of nagging, begging, pleading drama. My sister finally went and found mother to be energetic with no real info to tell. She had won the battle of control.)
....but....that "crisis" solved, she IMMEDIATELY started on....
*. Ohmygosh a REAL crisis could happen! A hurricane might come at the end of the week! Obsess obsess obsess....
...then distracted mid-hurricane-obsession by....
*. EARTHQUAKE!! Hysteria! Obsession!
....then right back to....
* HURRICANE COMING!!! Help...so sick...can't do things! What if windows blow out? What if a tree falls! What if the power goes out? What if the cell phone doesn't work? What if...what if...what if...
....this continued for days until about two hours ago, when she can no longer legitimately (?) obsess about the hurricane. So now we had to FIND SOMETHING to create drama about... So we have moved onto...
*. Can't stand the dust smell in the house. Need someone to change the filters. Please come...can't stand the smell...please come... (WTH? This isnt just a request, of course.... It is a new crisis. How does she come up with this stuff???)
....and
* They say trees can fall cause ground is wet. And tornados can still happen in [county far away].
What is next if/when someone changes her filters or she decides to move on to a new crisis?
It is anybody's guess.
