I always knew that this day would come for them.

It is to my understanding that my youngest son’s paternal grandfather is on a ventilator, and he’s five years and some change out from pancreatic cancer… so things aren’t looking good for him. That said, I attempted to reach out to my son’s grandmother and offer the family FaceTime with James if their patriarch is indeed in the Intensive Care Unit (I mean, where else would you be if you were on a ventilator?). I don’t expect the grandmother to respond to this the same way she’s refused to respond to all of my civil, polite inquiries and statements… but I felt like I had to make the offer and put it out there. I’m going to be the villain in their story no matter what because they are that determined to make me one, but the least I can do is make that difficult for them to do. I’m honestly going to be surprised if the old man survives this given his track history.

This just keeps getting better by the minute.

My sister-in-law’s “friend” attempted to hide a robust criminal history and the ability to pathologically lie from all of us, and that stopped almost as soon as it had started because I was clever enough to catch on to some of the things he said… and his arrest which he accidentally caught on FaceTime when some of us were on it. Because I didn’t want this person to use my sister-in-law for things like any of the money he could get on her, I had a few talks with her about it that her boyfriend signed on to agreeing that she needed someone to watch out for her preventing her from potentially being fleeced by this person for whatever she could provide him. This resulted in almost all of her friends dropping him not wanting anything to do with him…

I’m fine with that. I am less fine having to deal with people like this. I don’t like that people like this exist.

I also took James to the local hospital for the first time because a bee had stung him in the ear, it began to swell, Benadryl alone was not substantially bringing the swelling down and it was upsetting him. The local hospital surprisingly got us in and out in just over an hour, taking him back to a provider as soon as he presented and seeing him amazingly quickly. They also managed to maneuver him to where he could be given the steroid shot he needed with minimal fuss from him, and he follows up with his doctor later today.
