Well, it's been an eventful couple of days.

First, I had to take on my brother's spending habits and the enabling neighbor, Barbara, that had all but taken over. I have no idea how he got into the situation that he's in nor where the items went that he bought. I hate to be distrustful but I think the things are in her house.

Second, I've gotten my brother an appointment with a counselor as he requested. He needs someone to talk to but he also needs guidance. I've spoken with his payee. Barry qualifies for some other services. It's possible that I can get a social worker who will help him with light house keeping and finances. I think it would help him feel a little more independent.

Third, we were given the run around about Mom moving. One minute all systems were go and the next we had another round of red tape to cut through. I had a sub on stand by for today in case moving was on. Well, now there was a hitch in our get-along. Barbara apparently took offense to my chewing out my brother and decided to bail on helping Mom move. But she was still hell bent on going back to the old house to see what could go in the yard sale to make us extra money.

Then I got up this morning to move Mom and my brother bailed on me. I wound up loading the truck by myself this morning and spent the rest of the time with errands. The bed, which Barbara gave us in exchange for a chest of drawers, is kind of old and hard to put together. It needs a little cosmetic surgery. But it will be fine. However, the box springs doesn't fit. So, Mom is sleeping in another bed tonight there at the assistive living facility until I can fix the situation. Unfortunately we can't move furniture in over the weekend. So, she's stuck until Monday. I didn't get the second load of furniture moved today- the chest of drawers, dresser and ottoman- because I had no help and I was dog tired. So Monday will be the next big day.

After that I turn my attention to my brother's situation.

Welcome to my world.
