My patience is being pushed to the limit. Every day, something new comes up from AMIL that I've been doing that bothers her. When I got back from my trip, it was the fact that I'd been using too much hot water. Now I'm not allowed to talk to Sweetie on the phone in private, because she doesn't trust that I won't start a fight between the two of ( Read more... )

First full day back. All day spend mowing, but the entire freaking yard is done. Despite the fact that I slept until noon. Tomorrow, I hand-mow the back yard in the evening so I can take my shower right after and not bring in too much grass/dust/pollen/etc. Reminder to self - pick up dog poop before mowing ( Read more... )

Oh, such progress. AMIL has set a moving date of July 11, and people are showing up that night to help load the car. AMIL is also having one of her family come to drive the truck, so I don't have to worry about that. I'm currently collecting quotes on getting the non-running cars shipped, and it's not quite as cheap as I'd hoped. More like $ ( Read more... )

Not really much going on. Kind of depressed with everything that's happening. Missing Sweetie SO MUCH. I mean, in the last month...my father-in-law died. I didn't know him that well, granted, but he was still family. Then I found out that Sweetie couldn't stay back here, I had to stay. The longer I've been here, the less freedom I've had...

Another boring one, as I'm still helping AMIL. Good news though, that's always a plus ( Read more... )

I'm not normally one to believe in signs, but AMIL is...and she's seeing them EVERYWHERE lately. All the doctor's appointments she's had that normally take all day have been in and out. She decides to call for quotes on having the lawn mowed, completely out of the blue and without much belief that she'll find anything she can afford...and today ( Read more... )

So death certificate for father-in-law finally came through...only took a month. >< The doctor apparently sent it back the first time without putting a cause of death (metastatic poorly differentiated non-small cell lung cancer) or a signature. So the funeral home had to send it back, doctor took a week to fill that in, and send it back. We got ( Read more... )
