Spike ,'Lineage'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Got the final reckoning for Tom's mother's estate settlement expenses. It's quite a lot of money. Tom has taken to bed to make it go away. Sigh.
That sounds awful. Did he co-sign for her debts? Otherwise he shouldn't have to pay them! But I guess if she was ill, sometimes there's no other choice.
Her estate was spent on her end of life care. Since Tom's dad refuses to sell the house (Eve's half of the house has gone to Tom) we only have rental income to pay for the settlement of the estate. These are solicitor fees and other estate settlement legal fees. I don't even know. I don't even know where the hell the rent money's been going since November.
We just paid the credit card off from our travels there and the funeral costs, too. Like, this week.
Ps, I love the Middle East! Great place for shows. Right around the corner from Emily & vwbug's old apartment, too! I also loved T.T. the Bear's club right next to the Middle East. Good times.
Wait, Tom's dad is alive and his son has to shoulder the costs of the settlement? Ugh Nora, what a mess.
The concert is over and we're driving home. It was an awesome night, but I'm too old to be out this late.
Gronk.
Yeah, me too, and I don't even have an awesome concert to blame.
I could have slept in a little later, but I thought I should get up and make coffee for TCG. He likes Amanda Palmer's music well enough, but it probably wouldn't have been his first choice of concerts. I think he had a good time though.

They are - were - legally separated. And Tom is the executor. I am sure that Eve thought it would be a nice chunk of change for him when she wrote the will, but then her savings disappeared in nursing care.
I think some of this money, come to think of it, is to pay these attorneys in Scotland to act as executor in his stead, since he's not there? Maybe?
Sitting on a hard wooden bench for several hours has not made my body happy. Last night was one of those nights where I realize I have no idea what having a "normal" body feels like. Most people stood for 4 hours for the concert, and I have no concept of how that works. I'm not saying this for hugs or sympathy, just one of those "huh" moments.
