The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

...due to some technical legalistic detail they've decided not to pay me and if I had an issue I should get a lawyer.

I am dismayed that this is happening, yet very curious to see how the story unfolds. If I were in your position, I have no idea how I might go about finding (and selecting) a lawyer adequate to the task.

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

Hec, I am stupendously angry about the pension bs and so very sorry about Lola

Would anyone be interested in a zoom/facetime “chat while we do some kind of boring tasks” thing this week? I have various cabinets and drawers that really need to be emptied/cleaned out but it’s such a boring thing to do alone. I really want someone to just sit nearby and chat while I do it!

At the dermatologist. A lot to catch up on, but most recently, David, what the hell with the pension? I wish you a fierce and tenacious lawyer. And what awful news about Matilda's friend's mom's stomach cancer.

Pix I hope J did, indeed, get out as promised.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

He's mostly out. Apparently he bought a van to live in with the money I gave him. I had a very tense and upsetting text chain with him this morning when he asked for "a few more days" to finish renovating it. I suggested a motel to finish up. He said okay. Then he tried to guilt me into still needing to call for emotional support because he doesn't have a family. For the record, he has a sister. I drew a hard line on that and said no, I don't have the emotional room to support someone else. I also told him he needed to talk to a grief counselor.

Guys, I'm exhausted. But I think he will be out by the morning. Our own Laura is meeting the estate cleanout guy at the condo tomorrow so he can do a walkthrough and give me an estimate.

Man, Pix. I do wish for smooth sailing with this from here on out. Well, for everything.

Our wings are not tired.

Here's hoping I don't find him in a van in the parking space when I go there tomorrow!

How infuriating, Hec. I hope a lawyer can get the pension stuff worked out.

I’m glad things are moving to a conclusion, Pix.

Punishingly Intricate

So glad Laura is on the ground there in FL to supervise and report back.
