What's on your Sunday Menu?

Good early afternoon everyone.
I'm exhausted. I've washed about 15 loads of laundry. I don't know how you live with this much damned laundry. Oh wait I do...they just don't wa**** I get my SIL can't help it to a point but it's so frustrating because she even now still thinks we're throwing away to much. Her **** is worth more to her than almost everything else. That I just don't get. This should be an awakening...but nope. She should start intensive therapy Tuesday and it can't come soon enough.
my body aches on every level. I'm very tired. I'm very angry. My brother and SIL on top of everything are the laziest people I have EVER known. They sat on their asses while my mom and me did laundry. Pissed me right off. I don't get being like that I guess. I hate laundry like the next person but wishing you didn't have to do it doesn't make it go away. Ugh. I know we shouldn't do it for them...I do. BUT if we don't it won't get done.
sorry to gripe. My mom and me will need therapy after this just for dealing with em all. Thankfully I see my counselor Tuesday.
QOTD: I get a slight headache if I don't have at least a little caffeine. I do love the taste and smell of coffee. Especially the smell. I prefer cold brew during the warmer times though.

My guess is that despite your brother and SIL, a lot of what you're doing is because of the kids. It sucks for them to be in that situation and you're a saint for helping. I'm sure they also appreciate it in their own way.

Sunday.
I had to get to work last night and stayed over. So much work.
Plus I wanted to finally book our trip to Poland. We are going in the first week in July. The flight are vey expensive and the connection was really challenging. Finally I decided to book a better connection from CLT Charlotte NC, app 2 hrs drive for us from GSP - Greenville SC Airport. But it saves us app 6 hrs (or more) at airports, plus app $300 per person on the flights.
It was .. challenging.
Plus planed the tentative itinerary. ugh.
Thank you guys for support yesterday. I was debating if I should post it, but let this be a warning for others. Even when I thought I was drinking responsible, I really wasn't. VERY SCARY.
QOTD: I need hormones' and my coffee then I need at least 1 hr for that to work before I can function. (My body doesn't make enough cortisone and thyroid hormones so unless I take them plus coffee - I'm a zombie- but I don't bite. ) Every 6 months I need a hormonal blood work, and ..getting in a car at 7am without taking my cortisone at 7 am - it's scary. There were times Keith drove me because he saw me spaced out. And if I'm in a state like that - and I don't object him driving me- he knows he needs to do that.
Cat café: I don't need that. lol. I have a cat café at the back of the building at work. There is this one black - I think it is female, that we are trying to domesticate. She gets regular food, it's not scared of people, and I already have someone who wants her. This morning I finally was able to get her inside the building - exploring. I had the doors to outside open and food for her (tuna) just barely inside the building, and eventually not only she ate the tuna inside, but went in to explore. She is total black, cute as a button, and getting very friendly. I call her Mia. Today she even allowed me to rub her belly - message it. It's a small cat - looks young, but she ate a WHOLE can of tuna. She started purring and making biscuits... Hungry for affection. I had my coffee and socialized with her this morning. There are plenty of spaces for her to stay dry even when it rains. I want to trap her this week and transfer her to the inside of the building. Then Sam can take her home. If we didn't have Emma - 16 year old very territorial cat - I would take her home. She is absolutely adorable and looks like Emma - a black cat. But - Emma has priority and rights.
My eats:
coffee, more coffee, tea electrolytes, water.
L: ugh...
Dinner: UGH ugh..
not sure. But there is a lot of food in the house.

Glad you got your trip booked. Hopefully it's something to look forward to! I feel you on connections. Any time I book a major trip from here I check the three closest major airports. Sometimes I miss flying out of Atlanta.
Thank you for sharing your experiences. It is hard to be vulnerable, even in a supportive forum like this one. And what you have going on is scary. Hoping very much that there are no more instances!
Good luck with kitty domestication. She sounds sweet, if a bit skittish.
