She moves in Monday. Mom thinks the woman quit because she saw her hours were going to be cut. But Aunt J planned to keep her schedule the same for 2-3 weeks and then cut her hours back but still keep her on.
But Aunt W just lives in a world of denial. She didn't want to believe G'ma had dementia, she kept saying it if Aunt J would just stop doing things for her and babying her then G'ma would be able to continue to do things.
And I think she's built these idealized castles in the sky about G'ma and J and the whole situation. She wants some magic way for G'ma to stay at home but W doesn't want to actual do anything to make it happen
Aunt W lives a couple hours from here but she hasn't seen Mom in years, W told Mom she didn't drive over here because the "drive was too boring" but in the same call asked Mom when she was going over to see W!
askye, I'd love for your mom to tell your aunt that if she doesn't want to be part of the problem, she needs to be part of the solution.
Suddenly, Owen has taken umbrage with every single tag on every single plush toy they have. I find myself having to cut tags off of plush butts throughout the day as he brings them to me and tells me to "fix it."
Paging Windsparrow and DJ. Could you wave at us? It sounds like you had some wicked weather.
Really? Weather? I must have slept through it.
Oh, good. Sleeping through it is good, as long as you don't wake up with a tree through your roof. The national news keeps talking about southeast Minnesota.
Isn't Daisy Jane in Texas? Ginger, are you forgetting that I'm not in Az anymore? Either way, thank you for thinking of me. Now we just need to hear that DJ is safe and well.
Cuz here in Minnesota, we are having a lovely morning.
Oh, yeah, there is wayyyyyy too much water on the ground in other areas of the state - but here in Faribault, we have been fortunate. The absolute worst of weather systems tend to slide either north or south of us - possibly because of the confluence of the Straight River and the Cannon River, and the way the hills roll around here.
I'm glad it's lovely weather. I just mentally check the Buffista list in my head when I hear about bad weather and the like.
I finally managed to get back to sleep. Max did curl up next to me for a while, but I don't know what happened next since the phone just woke me up. In bad news, I agreed to work on somebody this evening and I really need some time off. In good news, it'll pay really well.
askye, I'm sorry this is such an ordeal for your family. Also that your Aunt W is such a jerk and wants her every wish granted. I like Cashmere's suggested phrasing.
Man, now I think I slept too long as I have that groggy feel. Oh well.
