Em looks adorable in uniform! I can't wait to hear about her games.
Mom's okay, the pain of the fall is lessened by the fact she's up there with E and she's having a blast being grandma. Although he calls her Nina.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Just got into a huge fight with my uncle because he's pissed off that we won't be out at midnight on Friday, but noon on Saturday.
It totally devolved into a screaming fight in my driveway and I'm really shaking right now. He had no need to come over and bitch at me and be an asshole. None whatsoever. And now he wants to do fucking walkthrough on the house.

Midnight on Friday? With a small child? What the fucking fuck?
What a seriously deranged fuckwanker, Aims.
If only I could bring Bertha over and give him a walkthrough on his skull.

It's stupid to let him get to me. His logic is not of our earth logic and I know that. But he's been telling our family that I just up and decided to move and that he knows why I think we needed to move, but that what we think we heard is not what he said. And he doesn't remember conversations or what he said verbatim. Well I do. And what possible reason would I have to make this up? When I have no time, inclination, or money to fucking move????
And oh yeah - he's never felt "welcome" here. And he didn't think there was anything wring with him painting a fucking fence in the backyard at 9:00 PM on a freaking Wednesday.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Argh. At least you will be out from under his landlording soon!

That is fucked up beyond belief Aimee.
And a walk through? I know you guys are busy and everything but can ya'll take some pictures just in case he tries to be even more of an asshole and say things didn't look right.

Honestly, he can say what the fuck he wants. I have no lease, never had a lease, he has no certificate of occupancy, and the IRS and State of Michigan would be very interested in learning that a) he's been taking the property homestead tax credit on this house for two years when it WASN'T his primary and residence and b) he's not been claiming the income he's been making off our rent on any sort of income taxes.
At this point, as far as I'm concerned, he can kiss my ass. I'll repair the two things that we for sure need to because we did it, but beyond that -- fuck him. Fuck him straight in the ass.
And I will for sure take pictures.

Because I'm malicious, I think the State of Michigan should know these things, provided it doesn't create further hardship for you.
But then... malicious.

Send them over. I'll transcribe 'em back 'atcha.
Sox, if I were in your shoes, I'd go. I don't know how different shiva regulations are between the U.S. and here, but I suspect that not that much.
If you can come and pay your respects/condolences, I'm sure that will be much appreciated.
If they're of Ashkenazi orientation, it's a custom to bring food. If not, there will be plenty of food there. Either way, it's a mitzvah to eat something small at the grieving house.
