This whole submission thing really sucks. It's so hard to strike a balance between keeping my mouth shut and emotionally shutting down completely. The right thing to do feels the absolute worst. I assume this is all happening to make me a better person, as I'm realizing that no matter what I do I will never be able to change my mother. Nor can I get away from her, apparently.
In other news, Cambodia doesn't exactly have enough power to supply Phnom Penh's demands, especially during hot season when the government employed Lexus owners crank up their air conditioning. Cue regularly scheduled power outages! We had our first one two days ago and it lasted for exactly three hours. The next day, it was two hours in the afternoon and one at night. Today we only had to suffer through two hours in the morning and 15 minutes tonight (where I assume they turned us off accidentally.) I really wish they'd get the schedule hammered out so that we can plan the laundry around it. It's really inconvenient to be in the middle of washing a load of clothes and have to leave standing water in the washing machine till the power comes back on to finish the cycle.
Love and Peace or else!
