Got a call from MIL – she needed
a ride to a medical appointment. S’Ok, I needed a reason to get off my stupefied
rump. And they had great news ! They’re moving to their own apartment, in
ThisCity, at the first of the month. Whew ! What a relief. I wondered if their
mortgage holder had lit the fire, but it’s nunnamybiz, we’re just happy they’ll
be outta there soon. And it’ll be much easier to arrange future medical
appointments. Get this – the Senior Ride bus service will gladly transport them
from ThisCity to ThatPlace and back, no problem. But they won’t from ThatPlace
to ThisCity ! Go figure.
They’ll be about ten blocks
away, too. Close enough to be convenient, far enough for everyone to keep their
privacy. While I’m a bit worried they’ll soon be depending on us again, at
least their place is nearly all-inclusive. They have their own electric bill
(but it’s the same company they have now, so no ridiculous deposits) and
cable/internet, but considering they won’t have water, trash, or gas bills,
hopefully it’ll be more comfortable for them.
While she was in for her
appointment, Dearest Son and I hit Dollar Tree, just for a few snacks.
Surprisingly, they still had Valentine’s Day candy, mostly of the lollipop and
conversation heart varieties. Hey, I like conversation hearts, especially at
half off. When we poked our heads into Dollar General (right next to the
grocery store) yesterday, their leftovers were only 25% off.
