Dementia is a THRIFTY state of being!

So my significant other came home last night. I had arranged a trip to Colorado for him to help out our 24 year old son.  Tiling, spackling...a brake job. I stayed home to care for HIS Mom. I was way too pissed off to hear/see him.  Red wine does that to me. I am Holy Hell on wheels if I've had red wine.  He had NOT done the 2-3 things I had implored him to do, with repercussions.
So here is my current threat.  I will find an apartment in the spring and move out.  I can hardly kick the 92 year old MIL to the curb.  His siblings are 1000% worthless!  They want financial information.  Shit, we didn't get that when she was 1 day from being totally un-cared for. Guess I could have called Dept of Elderly Services and reported her abandoned.  I just thought that would be... like....unethical!  HELLO!!?? Do you leave a 92 year old alone just to get some cha-ching?  Gag me!
The good news is that she will read the same magazine 4-5 times in a single day.  So dementia is a thrifty state of being.  There is NO such thing as leftovers, it's totally new every night!!
