it IS exhausting. I know exactly how you feel. Even when it's nice and quiet, your head is just going a million miles an hour, and it wears you out. I too am just getting over a cold, and just when I thought I was feeling better, I had to see my evil mother tonight. Sorry to hear the jail thing is starting to wear on you. It's so hard, because even though she is safe and sound in there now, she won't always be tucked away behind bars. And the prospect of her getting out is so scary because the future is so...out there. Anything could happen. I have thought about turning my mom in before when she drives just so I know where she is and what she's doing while she's in there. Any news on when she'll be out???
Regarding the oven bit - it's hard making ends meet, and if you already pay her a little extra each month, I don't think you should feel guilty about the rides. It sounds like you two are relatively close, and she probably does it out of the love of her own heart. Don't worry too much about what the roommates think. Cover expenses you feel are necessary. I second you on the over-consumerism of Christmas.
