it is "To Write Love on Her Arms" day, so i got my love on. actually had to have a discussion with my mum about it. writing on your hands and arms is her number one pet peeve. she asked that i wear long sleeves. i told her it would defeat the point. she conceded, but then it's cold today so i have on long sleeves. i've been trying to push them up when i'm not too cold.
grandpa is home with hospice care. we have been having to fight diane about this tooth and nail. she doesn't want to rearrange her house. i had to bite my tongue when all i wanted to say was "shut up fourth wife!" the family support has been really great here to now. i just worry about when people start to go home. we'll see what happens and how long he lasts i guess. he probably did get more exercise and such in the hospital, but there is just illness in a hospital. better for him to be home.
i have been tasked to start making a slide show for his funeral. not an unusual task asked of me. it has been asked of me before...just the person is normally dead first. i'm not sure where to put this. i have been working on it until my brain objects and then i have to walk away for a while. best to try to keep my sanity.
randy has been in the office most of the week and driving me bonkers. i did learn that if you talk quieter to him he gets quieter...just like a child. works wonders! that little trick has actually helped keep me sane. he just has no focus!
so j was told by a super secret squirrel that he had been requested by name to join the engine team. this would be a full time position with benefits and what not. the actually position has not been offered. he has just been asked if he would be interested which he said yes to. now we have to wait for the actual offer. we're not exactly sure when that will be. he was told that he would be on the unreal development kit project until december, which technically is an engine team project. don't know if the offer will come once this project is finished or earlier. i really would hope earlier, but we will have to wait and see. we are both very anxious. this would be that last piece that needs to be in place. that and we were just informed by bcbs that his premiums would be going up another $100 starting in january. that would make health care premiums more money then we spend on food in a month. so not cool. and my folks still admittedly refuse to put him on my health care policy, which is really unfair. i am the only salaried employee whose family is not covered by the company's health insurance. i'm just kind of curious as to how they are going to handle this. i mean j getting this position was the last thing we wanted in place before having a baby. are they going to try to just cover me and the baby. i don't think policies work like that. it's a family policy or an individual policy. they going to decide to cover all the other grandbabies except this one. who knows. most times i just don't understand.
they have recognized one thing which has been good. the realized how much money they were spending on dannielle and her family and shafting the other two daughters. sooo they are now picking up the tab on a few things. they paid my hospital bills which was sweet. they are paying for lisa to go to oxford. i'm not really sure how they are going to balance things out at this point. i mean they put a 45k addition on dannielle's house. they pay for her kids school, and day care, and clothes, and chip in money for food, and anything else the kids or dannielle might need. at least they have recognized that dannielle is playing them for cash cows and are keeping track of it and making some what of an attempt to even things out.
