Sorry I have been in and out. Lots of things going on.
My mom and dad's divorce was very messy and there is a court case pending for my dad for harassment charges that has been dragging for the last year. His sentencing could be anywhere from not guilty to probation to a year in jail. My Dad is frail at 78 years old and advanced kidney disease which requires dialysis every other day. Jail would be very bad for him.
My dad became recently homeless. Long story short, his nursing home kicked him out on the street. We've had our spats over the last year but I do not leave family to die on the street in the cold so he's moved in with us temporarily until he can secure an apartment of his own. Unfortunately, the waiting list for government assisted senior housing is running six months long right now. He's been very helpful and respectful. Scared us last week and fell down the stairs and aggravated his hip replacement. It's been nice for Eva to get to know her grandfather though.
My mom and I have been on the outs. She left state to go be with a young new boyfriend (ten years my junior) and has been going crazy partying and acting like an 18 year old. Not my idea for what I was hoping Eva to have as a grandmother but I understood she was going through her own crisises. However, her new beau contacted me and made threats against my family to the point I called the police and had it documented. Since then we are no longer on speaking terms.
Hubby was feeling ill and at my insistence went to the doctor and diagnosed with Diabetes. Trying to get this under control. Getting him health insurance was not really in the budget but necessary for his conditon so we worked something out. Thank goodness for credit cards, right?
Eva is doing famously but in a very fussy stage as she's cutting three teeth right now and we're trying to master transitioning her out of our family bed and into the crib which she's fighting full force.
