• Today was more eventful than I anticipated.  My brother and I met with our new lawyer at 8 a.m. to sign the papers so my mother can be served notice that we are taking over her personal and financial affairs. 

  What I didn’t anticipate was the fighting that took place later at my house.  S wanted to have a dinner meeting and so everyone showed up around six.  My brother made cosmos but Robi… drank straight Vodka.  S and R got into it over R “needling” Lois about her significant other or, rather, lack thereof. 

  I agree it was mean-spirited but then Robi… has more recent issues with Lois, as she lived there this last year and endured all kinds of abuse.  But, hey, she chose to live there, knowingly taking it on.

  Robi… had too much to drink and laid into S.  S got all in her face so Robi… stomped out to smoke on the front porch.  It’s such an about-face that this Baptist zealot has taken up drinking and smoking.  She came back from Germany a drunk. 

  I went out to try and smooth things over but she told me to shut up and go back in the house.  I came back in the kitchen pretty upset, and S said she’d had just about enough.  She said she was going back over to Lois’s house to get her glasses which she’d left behind and that Robi…better be gone when she got back.  She wasn’t.
