The latest from Good Sister is that Mom's weight is holding steady at 117 lbs. Yay? That reminds me: I need to send her another card.
And speaking of inheritance, Ex and Exbro have made arrangements to sell the late Exmother's San Francisco condo. This means Ex has a big wad of cash coming to her relatively soon. On a recent, increasingly rare phone call, she said it was fine if my contribution to the Wendling's upkeep at her place went from $750/mo. to $500/mo.
And speaking of the Wendling, he'll no longer be eligible for health insurance through me at the end of this month. Thank Goddess he's a union employee and can get health care through their insurance. That's another modest monthly amount that I can sacrifice to the mortgage gods.
Ex took the initiative to get him a new-to-him phone on one condition: he pays for his own plan; currently he's on mine. Oh, and now that he's wrecked my car, he's not on my insurance. Ex and I are slowly but surely dragging him into adulthood. To his credit, he hasn't complained about it – yet. It'll be bittersweet if these new bills are what motivates him to get a career.
