Just when I was thinking things might be looking up, they decided to slide back downhill.

So.... grandma had a stroke. Or something like it.
They aren't quite sure since she does seem to be fairly sharp but she's lost most of the function in her left side and seems unable to close her mouth so her speech is pretty garbled.

I could have asked them to take her to the hospital where she could possibly be diagnosed and treated but chances are good that it isn't treatable and she gets so stressed out by being moved to new places that it probably would have made things ten times worse.... and undiagnosable. So she'll stay there for the night and I'll go check on her tomorrow. If anything changes, of course they will let me know.

I do have some concerns because the papers to make me power of attorney are still unsigned. The lawyer was supposed to get ahold of me last week but didn't. I foolishly didn't contact her, figuring it wasn't urgent. You'd think I would have learned by now.
It's unsure whether she'll be in a state to sign any papers now. If that is the case, I will just have to hope and pray that my aunt doesn't decide to power trip. I really don't think she will but people get funny in these kinds of situations. We'll burn that bridge as we come to it, I suppose. :cP

All this is on top of the lovely mail day I had yesterday.
There was good news and bad news. The good is that I got a bunch of Christmas cards. If you're one of the ones who sent one and was wondering if I received it, I finally did! Thank you! We just hadn't gotten the mail in awhile because we're bad about that. Gotta get better. It's so much more important now.
A certain guardian angel dropped a hundred dollar bill into an unsigned card. I am pretty sure I know who it is and want to tell you how much I love you and thank you for thinking of me and wanting to help take care of things.

I'm glad I opened that as one of the first things because shortly after that I found exactly where that money was going to go.
The sewer district has filed a lien against the house for mommy's past due amount and the filing fee alone is $114.

O, and we found out last weekend that mommy's storage space, which is actually grandma's storage space because it's all of the things from grandma's ocean house that wouldn't fit in here, costs a whopping $170 per month! So yet another bill to get paid off. We're going to try and get it cleared out by the end of the month... though I have no idea where it's going to go. Best bet is that we're going to go through and keep what is sentimental and have Salvation Army or something come and take everything else.

AND the transmission still needs to be fixed. We haven't even had it looked at yet. Probably shouldn't be driving it but he can't work overtime without it and we can't pay for it without overtime. One of those lovely catch-22s.

So I'm having a great start to the new year... how about you?
