Tep, this all happened when we were in the Ozarks, so there's been no visiting advised. And my sister just texted me that he's being transported to the hospital that will do the psych eval, and there's no visiting while that goes on, for 10-14 days.
That's a long time, but at least you have a timeline, instead of not knowing how long it might be.
Mom and sister are basically finally able to get some rest.
This is *so* important. I didn't realize until the meeting with the lawyer last week how completely stressed out Tim's oldest brother (who lives and works VERY close to their dad's house) has been over the last 12-18 months, because their dad calls him first when the TV remote doesn't work, or he needs a haircut, or is out of beer. And he just assumes that Oldest Brother will stop working (he owns his own business) and take him for a haircut.
Actually, while I *still* don't think Tim's dad should go on vacation next week (and I don't think he *will* go, when it comes down to it), I realized that part of why Middle Brother is really gung-ho about their dad going is that Oldest Brother is NOT going on vacation -- so if their dad goes to the beach, Oldest Brother gets a damn break of 10 days. So, from that perspective, I get it.
And our family doc, for the last 20 years, who loves my mom and dad, has access and is ON IT, texting mom.
Excellent. That's so, SO important.
Strix - sorry things are rough, but glad you have a close Dr. to help.

That has to be a huge help. I'm sorry your family is going through this. Also, bunches of hugs.
Totally scampered through the terminal like a manic gerbil and made my connection.
Even managed to get competent gate lady to call Mac on Tarmac to see if my checked at gate bag was going to make it too.
No definitive answer which leaves some anxiety. I feel like the Tick about the earth's potential demise "But that's where I keep all my stuff!"
Now drinking gin to assuage worries of possible Cool Shirt loss.
Fucking goddamnit husband's not getting an offer AGAIN.
That sucks! I'm sorry Dana.

Go, OJ! (I really had to.)

The worst that could happen is Cool Shirt delay. But continue drinking gin just in case.

What the shit? This one sounded so promising! I'm sorry.

Argh. How do you go from being the only finalist to not getting an offer?!

What she said! That's ludicrous!
ARGH.
Just requested a copy of the background check, if somehow that was connected. It may be that they got his previous salary information and realized they wouldn't be able to come close to it. It may be a religious issue (they are a religious organization and therefore allowed to use religion as a hiring criteria).
