My Tree House

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.

Yesterday was our 14th wedding anniversary. Has it really been that long? It’s hard to believe sometimes. We just stayed home, didn’t really do anything to celebrate. Another sign that we are getting old. Oh well. We are supposed to celebrate this weekend, maybe go out for dinner and see a movie. Of course the girls will be with us, so we’ll probably go see the new Harry Potter movie. No, I really don’t miss going out just the two of us. We enjoy being with the girls. We’re trying to enjoy their company as much as we can before they start not wanting to go places with us anymore.

Things have been going great with us lately, so I can’t rant. I can’t say this is how it will be forever, but I guess nothing in life is. Forever, I mean. That’s not necessarily a bad thing either. Things change as we grow older and learn more of what life is all about.

So, I take things one day at a time. Carpe diem. Today was a good day, and I am really happy with myself
