Today was the only day I could use the car because my Dad's social schedule, except for Sunday, is booked for the next 10 days. I told him on Monday that I had two appointments with people at the local bank to deal with my brother's estate stuff that is here.
Since I was in town, I also tried to pick up my cell phone (it is not ready), and did pick up dry cleaning, looked for a 6 ft. long scarf for him (didn't find one), went and got barley malt syrup for some bread recipes, got my hair cut, and went to Walmart and got things on his list. Oh, I called him around 3, and told him to take out pork chops. He has a cold--couldn't do that. I suggested chicken noodle soup and grilled cheese--thought he could do that.
On the way home, I almost hit two deer, the roads were really icy, pulled over at a store where one of the caregivers' worked, used the bathroom (almost peed my pants when I went between the two deer and not in the ditch), asked her to call my Dad after I used the facilities to tell him I had those two value BK meals. I also had over $1k to reimburse him for expenses he's paid out for my brother's estate. I got told I had been crabby all day (I left at 10:15--I wasn't even home, how could I be crabby???) and that he thought my priority was my Mom. It is, but I also have a legal obligation to take care of my brother's estate. I don't inherit a dime, it all goes to my parents. I am just doing the heavy lifting. I have deadlines I have to meet. I couldn't believe it. I'm gone 6 hours, and my Mom isn't my priority? She is, definitely, but I also have a legal obligation to deal with my brother's estate. GRRRRRR....I know my parents miss my brother beyond belief and this is the time of year he was here, but really, I'm gone six hours and my Mom isn't my priority???? And those BK meals? Not healthy. My response was that they were a treat--he eats processed stuff, etc. when I don't cook. What was that about?
I want to click my heels together and trade places with someone.
