Problems I currently have include:

• My aunt who is purportedly coming up to visit tomorrow and expects us to drop everything on the off chance that she actually deigns to drive all the way to Maine and honor us with her presence
• Relatedly, the sect of my mother’s family who only speaks to her when they’re struggling with the fact that her mother is possibly the worst human in the world 
• My grandparents who are currently refusing to speak to my father because they’re awful people
• My other aunt who is just a manipulative bitch and has currently convinced my father (her brother) that she’s on his side against their parents and that’s going to be ugly when it inevitably
• My grandmother on Mom’s side who is SOMEHOW not dead yet and wow, God, please
• The ongoing misapprehension that my extended family seems to labor under in which I actually give a good goddamn about them
• The even more dangerous belief they seem to be possessed of in which they have any say about what I do
• Their absolute delusion that they have an automatic right to being involved in our lives because well, we’re family

My overwhelming and undeniable bitterness about this is not news, but what IS very annoying is that:

• I am bitter
  
• Brenneth is also very bitter in the scene I’m trying to write here
• To my shock, writing someone being bitter while feeling bitter yourself is a good way to spiral into being bitter about other things

As such I have gotten Literally Nothing Done and I’m really aggravated about all of it.
