1:37 am

sprite

good morning all

1:38 am

sprite

darn... another baby babble :(

1:46 am

Kamanjah

Hi sprite! How's the packing going? Hope you're not too sore and tired.

1:49 am

sprite

cleared out and boxed up 3/4 of the cupboard under the stairs. We are definitely getting there. Tomorrow we go pick up the trailer, this weekend we will move all trailer stuff into the trailer and start living there.
Yeah, serious pain and too tired, system is overloading. Am working in small stretches, resting in between. But not sorry for it! It is worth it, and soon I will be living in a very small house i.e. trailer with a whole lot less to do ;)
How are you doing today? Has Michael left for his dad's?

1:52 am

Kamanjah

You have been a busy woman! Yes, Michael left today. The situation was more complicated than anyone told him - the sister set something up for nurse visits, but dad can't leave his house. He has to make phone calls tomorrow to straighten it out - dad is not happy with the new "rule."

1:53 am

sprite

ugh, that is complex. When will he be able to move into the assisted living home?

1:55 am

Kamanjah

Not quite sure, have heard he can have a shared room on the 31st. I don't think a shared room is going to fly, but it may have to for 2-3 weeks.

1:56 am

sprite

maybe a shared room for a few weeks is easier to accept than not being allowed to leave your very own house.

1:58 am

Kamanjah

True, that! But the way the sister handles things...just not nice! She never shuts up - no such thing as a phone conversation with her - she talks, and when she's done telling you how the world will run (in her view), she says bye. Drives me batty!

1:58 am

sprite

that is so rude!

1:59 am

Kamanjah

It's just a good thing I wasn't awake when she spoke with Michael this AM - he said he couldn't get a single word in, and never had any questions answered. She was just telling him what he had to do...yes, good thing I was still asleep!

2:00 am

sprite

or not, lol. She could do with a bit of Kam.

2:01 am

sprite

how about calling her back right away? Tell her: "You had your say, then you hang up, so now it is my turn,shut up and listen."

2:03 am

Kamanjah

I wish - the only way that happens without her hanging up is to leave a voice mail. Michael did that, and told her off. She lit into him...I swear, don't put us in the same room - it will get ugly fast.

2:03 am

sprite

that girl needs a spanking. Seriously.

2:06 am

Kamanjah

Seriously is an understatement. I am so dreading losing dad - love him to pieces, but the family thing is a bit dysfunctional. The sister has a boyfriend - for about three years now - and I have never even met him! Michael met him once. He's a phantom...

2:07 am

Kamanjah

I'll let you finish this up, if you haven't already...you have much to do, I'm sure! Wishing you a productive day...at your own pace.

2:08 am

sprite

can't be anything else than a phantom, with a girlfriend who never listens. Sounds like Dad is the only thing keeping the family kind of together. What is your fear? That things will fall apart once he passes away? What will Michael lose then, apart from his dad (which is tough enough)

2:08 am

sprite

thanks Kam. Yeah, almost done, 2 more words. And then more packing! *hugs* and take care.

2:09 am

Kamanjah

You too!

2:10 am

sprite

fireflies.
