Hey Everyone!
I’ve had to poof recently because of real life L At first it was the ever changing schedules at work, my bosses being jerks. Typical Office drama and the occasional threats of me quitting. Having 2 coworkers leave the department, one transferred and one put in her 2 weeks.
Then on my mom’s side my great grandmother passed away suddenly. The hospitals here suck, the old folks home (cant spell the correct name for it) didn’t call us when they sent her to the hospital on Sept 18th, and the hospital didn’t call us until the 23rd when she had a massive heart attack. They were wondering why we hadn’t been there.. then went Oh my bad.. when they realized we hadn’t been notified. She passed away 2 days later. Got hassled by my boss when I had to miss work for 2 days to plan her funeral and to attend it because she got cremated (btw NOT cheap anymore plus you can prepay which she did and for a viewing not cheap either.) Between my brother and I we paid for the viewing and lunch afterwards, which shocked my aunts who couldn’t be bothered to show up when we sat in a waiting room for 28 hours.
Now we’re packing up the single wide trailer which has $2000 back property rent, we then found out our great grandmother willed it to her property landlord which is ok it needs a lot of work… But if we paid for it we could have the house and to move it. We decided we couldn’t afford it, We have until the 31st to move everything out. What we didn’t know is my aunt did go through the house to “assess†what we should keep. My aunts decided without asking my mom when we were driving to a local restaurant for a lunch after the viewing that everything was to be donated, because they didn’t want/need anything. They didn’t bother looking through all the boxes, we did. My grandmother would hide things, in one of the boxes my aunt “looked through†we found WWII military issued aviator glasses, Zuni silver jewelry, a Raggidy Anne from the 1930s, watches, etc. Heirlooms that she had hidden and nobody knew. I posted a picture of my new windup watch and my aunt actually asked me if I would sell it. I was no… she then said she had friends who would buy it if I ever wanted to.
When I told my mom their plans, because one of my aunts has been insisting she help out so it wont be as hard to move everything to the donation places for us and it would go faster. Mom asked them to stay home. Since we’re paying for the storage, that we would decide what goes where. Which is about 90% of everything we can either use or keep for our children (when we have them) as heirlooms.
From her clothes I plan on making a quilt. Mom said she would help me on that.
So literally my life has sucked these last few months L
