My Tree House

I’m so glad my sister O has balls galore. She’s taking care of Pop’s problem. She went and reported the culprits to the Senior Action Network who, it sounds like, are a great group of people whose primary aim is to protect the rights of senior citizens. My dad is in no way incapacitated yet, he is just inflicted by the senior disease of apathy or just wanting to keep peace. It’s maddening sometimes, this his tendency to just give in rather than go through the drama. This is a different case of just giving in to someone though. You can give in to the whims of others to keep peace so long as it doesn’t harm you or anyone else. Bilking a senior citizen who no longer has a meaningful means to support himself for the remainder of his life is not right. To even have the gall to attempt to is contemptible. I hope a third party can clarify to them how wrong they are and my pop can get an equitable settlement out of this.

I just talked to my Pop last night, and he told me that the issue with his condo may finally be resolved by the end of the month. Hi step-daughter J is working on getting her financing straight so she can buy him out. When he told me how much she is buying him out, I almost blurted WTF!!??, but held my tongue. She is going to buy him out for half of the amount they originally paid for the condo. With the way real estate is in SF, the condo is worth double the original price. That means once she takes posession of the condo, she can turn around and sell it at market value and triple her investment. What a money grubbing witch! Pop needs the money to live on. No telling how long he will live on.

I feel bad for sister S, who is left to take care of everything just because she is the only one left unattached. I am contemplating what would be the best thing to do.

It’s been a while since I last posted, I guess I’ve been neglecting my tree house. Or rather, that I haven’t had much reason to hide out in my tree house lately. The new year has been good to me so far. I worry a lot still, but I try to put it in the back of my mind and think of more positive things rather than dwelling on the negatives.

I started a once a week yoga class after the new year, and I have enjoyed it immensely. This week, our instructor was out and so we didn’t have class. I actually missed it. My body was craving it. So I think this weekend I’ll try to find a video I can follow at home.
