J. is out of his mind. ND called him today to explain why he can't just stay in the condo and that we need to sell it, and J lost it and said he's going to be homeless and his sister is telling him he should be a squatter. I sent him an email clearly laying out that he needs to be out by March 15 or I will have to call the police and I really don't want to do that. I reminded him I gave him money, so he can buy a car (he wanted ND to help him buy a van to live in, which ND doesn't have the spoons to do -- I told him about Carmax), and he can also go to other parts of Florida that aren't as expensive and have nursing shortages. I told him Dad would want better for him, that this doesn't have to be the utter fiasco he's making it, that he has options and that things will get better.

I am so upset. He's so unstable that I worry about him. But I also have nothing left to give him, financially or emotionally. I also reached to to a lawyer about Florida's ejectment law if it comes to that. Please don't let it come to that.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Hoping for you that it doesn't come to that, Pix.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Pix, holy shit. You gave him TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS and he is still asking for more from you?? Good god. I do truly feel for him, but you have gone *well* beyond anything he could have reasonably expected from you. I really hope he gets his act together soon and moves on, for his sake and for yours.

He is not well. It's hard to see and also incredibly upsetting and stressful to deal with. ND is pretty sure he was drunk when he talked to him today.

Our wings are not tired

He definitely did not seem in his right mind when I spoke to him.

Punishingly Intricate

Pix and ND I’m so sorry you’re having to deal with this. What a nightmare.

Good grief, Pix and ND. I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this on top of everything else. Unreal.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Ugh Pix & ND - you have already gone above and beyond with this. Any way to make J a lawyer's problem instead of yours so at least you don't have to deal with him personally?

On a lighter note. My org has recently updated "Women in Tech" to "Women Transfemme & Nonbinary" which means I am now getting emails inviting me to "WTFNB" events, which I am unable to see as anything other than What The Fuck, Non-Binary.

Fully support going to work What the Fuck events.

Also good grief, Pix and ND. You’ve gone above and beyond and don’t deserve to deal with this. I hope he comes to his senses and realizes you’ve been generous already. Geez.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, Pix, I'm so sorry. How terrible!
