Mom annoyed my sister so much my sister swore off helping her once I got married, which happened on 3/16.

We went to San Diego for a week and Mom didn't do anything stupid while we were gone, but she took her car and went for a drive the next day, when I was getting ready.

She didn't hit anything and I bought The Club.

We will see what happens when she discovers that, but:

The week before last, my desktop crashed.
I didn't feel that I had the time to troubleshoot it, I just wanted to back up my documents and try to finish the quarter and prepare for the wedding, but my flash drives weren't big enough for all of my documents.
On Thursday, my airbag light came on, so I started driving Mom's car, which I took to San Diego.
I bought replacement brake pads months ago, but I have been focused on fighting mice at Mom's house.
I put down 50 traps and disposed of at least 43 mice, plus tons of stuff the mice damaged, which might have been garbage beforehand.

I tried to catch up with school stuff due before the wedding during our honeymoon, but my laptop crashed.

So, as far as I know, I am able to keep my two favorite people in my life, and Mom isn't going anywhere soon, although my sister started saying she expects Mom to die within a year.

I graduate in 438 days.

I didn't buy the $120 lock bar, I bought this one for $12, which either arrived broken, or broke when I was unboxing it, but they replaced it for free, and it seems to work:
