As you know from my last post, we lost My Bob's mother on March 2. We spent that week in Cincinnati. When we returned home, my dad said that my Grandma wasn't doing well at all. She's been bad for quite a while now. She's been in the assisted living and then nursing home for three years. Dad explained that she looked worse. I went to visit her and she didn't even open her eyes and looked even thinner than the 53 pounds I had seen her at previously, if that's even possible. We contacted relatives to tell of her worsened condition. My cousin, Brad, got into town from Harrisburg on Friday to visit her, and just as he got into town she passed away, at age 93. The viewing and funeral is this coming Friday and Saturday.
Going on at this same time, last Thursday my mother went into the hospital for a scheduled hysterectomy operation. She was in there until Saturday afternoon. I've been helping her with a few things such as some laundry and cleaning out Grandma's things from the nursing home yesterday.
Also during this time we are arguing with, fighting with, and appealing the zoning board's decision to not allow a flower shop to go into the property that my son and his wife own that we are trying to sell. (See my February 12 post). We thought this was a done deal, and it should have been. The female attorney bitch (and I don't say that often) City Solicitor decided she wanted to fight us on this for no good reason. Why do female attorneys feel they have to be like this in order to feel like they are being an effective attorney? She loves the thrill of a good fight and good common sense doesn't even enter her mind. Now Bob and I are going to see an attorney on Thursday to see if we have a case for appeal. The attorney we have been recommended to is the County Solicitor. It's become a matter of principle for us now. My energy is running low, though, so if it's not going to be an easy win for our family I'll have to give up.
Then last Thursday I think it was, our computers quit working. I guess the timing was as good as it could get because I didn't feel like using it anyway. Our computer doctor came to the house and it ended up we needed a new router. He also cleaned up the computers and ordered new memory boards for both. We're back in business again.
Today I need to do laundry and get sheets, bedrooms and bathrooms cleaned up and ready for family arriving Friday for the funeral.
After this weekend we'll be looking forward to a nice summer and two new lives that will be coming into our family. We have lost two wonderful ladies and will be now welcoming two new beautiful grandchildren.
I must go now and put all I have into the rest of this week. I'm behind in so many things, but I can only do what I can do.
