Another rant

 Well, brought cousin back from MT, but she is still blaming me for her problems.

Haven't had too bad of a time:

My back problems are always on top of my complain list.  I had surgery in February to alleviate pressure on nerves in my lower back; so now my right leg isn't numb, but i feel the pain since the leg isn't numb.  Cant walk very far or stand for very long.  Going to see the numbness doctor and try a round of shots in the spine for this pain.  If, as the first & second set of these shots didn't do the trick, this round of them don't work, then i will be resigned to pain for the remainder of my time.

Now, the good news.  My niece, Jessica, had a baby.  She is a mom!!!!  She had a little boy, Brady Andrew, and he is the cutest little guy.  I do hope she hurries up and has another and names him after my dad, her grandfather that she never knew.  

Because of the new life, I am updating our wills, not that Brady will be included, but we need to update where our money goes after we both pass and Chris does not want his 3 shitty nephews to get it.  So, if he passes away last, his great-niece will get 25% of his estate.  I have stipulated that Jessica gets all of Gran's jewelry, and that if I predecease Chris there are household items that get returned to Matt, Jake and Jess.  

I have had several run ins with people who then talk about me rather than confront me with their displeasure at something I have done or said.

The daughter of a good friend of Chris', he has known this girl all of her life, and me at least since her 18th birthday and her wedding.  So, fast forward, in September of 2021, the friend passes away and this daughter inherits $900K.  Well, this is nearly 2 years since his death and she can't see fit to get him a headstone for his grave?  So I send her a DM, I don't put it out there for all to see that she is a cheap bitch who only loved her dad for his money, I don't put it out there that she plays the victim at every turn and is so obsessed with her looks that she looks fake, I don't put out there that she is partially responsible for killing her sister during the pandemic because nobody in the family wanted to wear a mask, I don't point out that she is really just trash, but I do point out that "it is probably not my business but are you going to get a headstone for your dad" and she goes off on a long rant about how rude i was for not asking about her, or her kids, or the new house they live in, or all the other "victimhood" items she could find before saying it was none of my business.  That is fine, but I'm sure i'm not the only one of Roger's friends who would like to see him have a headstone.  What a shitty person his daughter turned out to be --- if in fact she is his daughter.....

I am doing my best to get our credit card paid off, but i'm sure at the end of the year I will need to pull some $$ from an IRA to pay it off.  I want to buy a new mobile home ---  If we can time this just right, and a little recession helps out, we might be able to do the 15yr mtg.  I am torn between a new house or going somewhere for 5/6 months every couple of years.  Afraid that when we come back the place will fall down around our ears, it is 23 years old.  So I will start working on him for a new house payment for 15 yrs, and get GAAP insurance, but at least we will be able to stay in our home until our last days here.  I need to start working on floorplans.
