Sayonara, Sadness!

Well friends, i feel it's a good tyme to update you on Mother. Especially since she seems to be conscious just about all the time now! She has broken her number one "Life Rule". SHE'S BEEN READING! (A BOOK!!) Honestly, her life has made almost a 160 degree turn since a week and a half ago.

"Sayonara, Sadness!", this book she got from this guy who helped her up off the floor at The Tattler when she decided to make out with a cardboard cutout of Dale Earnhardt Jr. that was "asking for it", has REALLY changed her outlook on life.

SHE IS DOING GREAT!, but it hasn't happened as quickly as the book outlines, which has caused Mother, at times, to fall back into her, "Self-Worth Skid", which usually translates to her breaking out the clown suit, cooking up a batch of methamphetamine, and–on tuesday at least–she had problems calling me anything other than Chinkface.

Other than the occasional renaming of her offspring, she's really been happy. IT'S LIKE I HAVE MY OLD MOTHER BACK!!

On her "good days" she WON'T STOP TALKING! about the book.

Mother's favorite part of the book is where the writer, while outlining "8 Steps to Flushing Mr. Stinky" goes on a tangent, and says something about how his mother was pretty controlling, and wouldn't let him have any friends, especially after she caught him masturbating to pictures of elderly women in a medical supply catalog, "wearing hose".

He brings it all back to something about internalizing things, and something about anger coming out in odd, and even "borderline felony" ways. Then he said something about murdering his family. I forget the rest, but SHE LOVES THIS PART!

I really hope for best for Mother. She is learning many "Soul Lessons".

It's just hard for Mother to "change", especially when in order for that to happen she has to "get up", and "put a shirt on".

It's all she can do not to flush Mr. Self Help book, and turn Montel back on.

I'm very happy to hear your mother's enjoying a book, Michel. Maybe now she'll stay home more!
