Decided to call Jon and Harmony to see what they would say about the dinner. I told them both about my dream last night, for sure. Jon thinks he can't trust me to not act like a poo, while I argued that Mom has a history of public meltdowns. Harmony reminded me that it wasn't about me or Mom... I know it's about Grandma! I assume I'm still banned from calling the house, so I'm not going to do that. Told Harmony that I'd settle for Mom being fake-nice like she is to everyone else, even though maybe I shouldn't have said that. Jon says I kinda have to swallow my pride... yeah, maybe... but MOM has to stop her behavior. Not likely, but I just hope this thing will be okay. Eric also called from his cell to inform me that he didn't have to be at church early... 9:10-ish sounds fine to me!
