I just got word from Good Sister that she has filed suit for guardianship, as Florida calls it*, and that Evil Sister & I will need to be signing consent forms shortly. This comes after GS made one more last-ditch attempt to get Mom to come quietly. Yeah, I've done one of those, too, and I think GS has, too. Mom refused, natch, saying she'd get her schizophrenic big sister** to come down and fight us off. You do that, Mom. After what seemed like an endless series of revision and our lawyer having a personal emergency, we're almost as ready to go to court as we're going to get. ES in particular is way past ready to be done with this, and I must confess I'm not far behind her. It isn't emotionally easy to go against your parent's wishes, even when you know they're well on their way to becoming a veggie.
Remember how the director of Lambert House misplaced the annual report, so we needed to redo it? Not only did I redo it, I finally after doing it at least twice changed the queries so I can get it done in half the time. One bummed ride later, I got home by midnight, which I've never done on an annual report night. Go me. Yeah, I promised I'd do the Q1 report tonight, but that takes half an hour. I should have time for Sybil.
The director, Ken, told me that it was OK to kill him. Said I, "I'm not going to kill you; I'm going to do something worse. My sisters and I are suing our mother for guardianship. Between you, my mom, and the current occupant of the White House, I'm being vexed by older people!"
Ken laughed, objected to the comparison to 45, and reminded me that I just turned fifty. Hey, I'm not doing any of the vexing yet, and so far I'm two for three at eliminating vexations.
*GS prefers the less emotionally loaded "conservatorship", which other states use.
**Aunt H was easily my favorite aunt when I was much younger. The story of her life is not happy; Mom used to speak of her the same way you'd speak of the dead. Mom's also told me Aunt H is not OK with my being trans. I haven't had any direct contact with her since the '80s.
