Thanks for all the well wishes- so far, things are going well. DB is even getting into the groove of things. Of course TBear told him he was being selfish. That had to have bit.
A mysterious benefactor in the family has replaced my mismatched and heavily scratched Correlle (ex #3 took steel wool to it) with a brand new 12 piece place setting in plain white! I think it was Uncle #1 because he knew that I wasn't thrilled with the pattern on DGMs dishes but was in need of replacing these so I took the "beggars can't be choosers" route. He also needs to replace his dishes (he has less place settings than people right now due to broken dishes) and liked the pattern because it wasn't "overtly feminine or loud". I suppose it could have been DM- but I don't understand why she would have me pick up the prepaid package at the store- unless she was afraid I would argue or the new dishes were a decision made jointly by the siblings.

Beth- Agreed!
DM will be moved in with me by the 31st of this month. Things are moving a bit off kilter at the moment but I am hoping they even out as things progress.

Everyone keep their collective paws crossed! DB has found both a potential vehicle and a potential place to live. His employers are willing to help him secure these.
Momma Bear moves in officially tonight. She was supposed to move in last night but changed her mind.

Brother is getting his car worked on- but because he doesn't educate himself on his vehicle and doesn't listen to people- he is going to have to spend money. He is waiting to hear about this apartment.
I have essentially washed my hands of him. I refuse to let him stress me out.

I got 2 more loads today and have about 3 left. I am on the home stretch! DM is still not feeling well but she is doing better. She may have to go into the hospital for IV antibiotics this week- but my aunt says that they will help me.

DBs car was supposed to be finished next week-
SOOOOO
he slid on ice at 2:30 AM and wrecked MommaBear's truck. The cop said it was a good thing he was in DMs truck b/c the cop was waiting for a wrecker for his cruiser- which he totalled in the same spot because the curb is 18 inches high where he hit. DMs car appears repairable.
He has minor injuries. My non-swimming father slid on ice and landed in a lake and 4 other carriers wrecked also.

2:30 am Friday night in bad weather? Somehow I'm guessing he was not returning from work. Why was he out?
Sorry, but I would not take such a charitable view of his decision to run around in dangerous weather with a truck that does not belong to him, that he should have returned to mom two weeks ago. This debacle is just going to cause an ill mom more hassle and disruption.

rock-it- His work is as a news carrier- he had to be out at work.
I don't agree with it- If you read some of my posts on the GC- you will find that delivering newspapers has been my job as well. It is something that we were both raised in and unfortunately attracts people b/c it can make really good money.

The other shoe has dropped. DB will be served with papers this week most likely giving him until 3/2 to be out of DGMs home. He has not done anything as far as cleaning his stuff up. He has also been threatened with jail time for his child support.
I have however convinced my DM to not allow him to use her vehicle anymore and we will be attempting to sell it when we get it back from the body shop. THat should be this week.

I hope all this stress hasn't affected your health, MizBear. Kudos to you for taking the high road and letting your DM stay with you.

mizbear,
I am sorry to hear about DGM too.
How is DM holding up?
Is there an update on DB?

DM is having some health issues. I made her go to the doctor Friday and we found out she has another infection- bascially a rebound infection from her antibiotics. Aye yi yi. She sleeps a lot. But she is doing more than she was.
DB is down to crunch time for getting his own place. It has gotten to be too stressful for DM and I to go over there much. He gets nasty with us and my Uncle M is trying to make money off of DGMs death.
I will very glad when this is over.
DMs truck is finished. We are working on selling it.

Mom traded her SUV (she picked it up from the shop this week) in on a 2012 Yaris- same model as mine, but 2 years newer, and a different color.
She was able to get it for the same payment.
So DB won't be asking for her vehicle, her service is provided for in her car payment, and it will cost her half in payments.
