DarkKnight and I had a relatively uneventful back and forth drive to NY on Friday. I helped my mom open a new bank account at a National bank, and then I sat on the phone with her with the social security office for an hour and a half to change her monthly direct deposit to that new account.
I spoke to my sister, and we agreed that my mom will be moving on April 22. Her boyfriend will drive the moving truck, and she will be renting a car to follow along behind. (Her own car is trash.) My mom is going to try and pay part of the cost of the moving truck (not likely) and I will pay for what’s left of the truck rental and all of the gas for it. My nephew and his fiancé will help load the truck on moving day, and my son will assist with unloading.
Throughout this phone discussion, my sister was very hostile. We all think that it’s because she thought I would just argue with my brother - play bad cop to her good cop, and leave my mom in that situation. She didn’t anticipate me actually solving the issue all together. Sigh.
BugGirl is very excited about us finally moving out and her being able to take over the current house. Both DarkKnight and I are happy to let her purchase it when she is able to, or to just rent until she wishes to relocate with a partner. She’s buying fixtures and rugs, and making decorating plans!
This evening I’m going to focus on this year’s taxes, as I have all of the paperwork for BeanBoy’s paperwork. He needs his refund to be able to move here himself - when the cash is deposited, I’ll reserve his moving truck! He wants to purchase a new bed as well.
I had an okay weekend with MisterMoonbeam in Virginia. We had prepaid an escape room in Richmond - The Trials of Valhalla - and we beat it with a minute to spare. We had dinner out at a small restaurant and then went back to the hotel room for a good time! Only, he then proceeded to crack his head on the corner of the TV, while putting water bottles into the mini fridge. It was so bad, he saw stars, and collapsed onto the bed face down, taking gulps of air.
Now, if you just knocked yourself senseless, what do you think the next step should be?
A) Sit up slowly, take it easy and watch for signs of concussion?
B) Go to urgent care or the ER to get checked out, when you realize your vision is fuzzy and you can’t get it clear?
C) Pop a Cialis and pretend everything is great to proceed to pound town with your girlfriend, except stop after a few minutes and admit you can’t really move without wanting to throw up?
I’m sure you can guess which of these options MisterMoonbeam chose.
Oy! He had me in tears - I was SO FUCKING UPSET with him. He finally relaxed and went to sleep. I kept waking up to make sure he hadn’t stopped breathing, omg.
The next day, we had planned to attend a clothing swap with some of his old acquaintances and that was a good time for both of us. We brought a suitcase and two medium sized boxes full of our own cast offs, and left with some nice new options for the both of us. I was able to meet an old dating partner of his, and she was nice. She’s in a polycule with both a husband and a boyfriend who she cohabitates with. I didn’t have any time at all to talk with her but I’m a Facebook friend now so I am looking forward to getting to know her better.
After the clothing exchange, MisterMoonbeam and I drove to his parents’ house and they signed the gift letter we needed. They were unable to actually transfer the funds on last Friday, as they had a fraud hold on their account, but they plan to wire $4,000 on Tuesday or Wednesday. Either date will work for the deadline we have.
This morning I kept the car and I need to run to the Dollar Store and get Valentine’s gift bags for a small giveaway I’m doing for my clients tomorrow. I need to pick up chocolate candy too. There’s a volunteer coming over today to help assemble it all - we counted and divided up toiletry gift products last Thursday so it’s just bagging everything up that we need to get done.
