food for thought from Good Sister
Good Sister gave me a birthday phone call yesterday evening. I found out a couple of things. First, she & her husband really are looking at moving to Roanoke to cut costs; they've already let their girls know that they're about to have less storage space for the girls' stuff. Second, she's already making plans in case she gets dementia. As she put it, Mom had everything planned out except for that contingency. In grand Good Sister style, she encouraged me to start on this, too.
Sheeut. My son isn't even launched, and he's making no moves to. He's in no position to take care of either of his parents having a serious, long-term decline. If I try to have a serious conversation with him about my brain someday turning to Jell-O, his anxiety will crumple him into a ball.
And oh by the way, having moved heaven and earth to get into the Devil Girl House, I'm so not thinking about getting out. Yes, Seattle is expensive. It's also livable for a trans person with no car as hardly anywhere else in the US is. You get what you pay for.
