Crap goes around in a circle

Well - This month will put PAID to a couple of receipts still in my "in" box.

Starting off, I was sent a copy of my deceased grandmothers will - specifically leaving out any decendents of my father- calling us all 'deceased prior to my grandmother for purposes of the will'. Nice... plus it was signed a year before Chris and I took the trip to see her. I'm having a really hard time getting my brains around to this. No- I wouldn't want her money, and had decided a long time ago that if I were to receive any money from her estate, I'd donate it to the local humane society in her name. Never in my entire life did I ever ask my grandmother for any money. And I always sent thank-you notes for any birthday or holiday gifts she sent me.

It's all so freaking ugly - Dad...cancer....radiation caused psychoses...telling everyone in the family a different story. Begging his mother to come back to Washington, begging his sister and nephew and ME to keep his mother in Denver,different stories to my brother too...stirring the shit so much it hit every member of the family. After all those showers, I find I'm still covered in shit from this mess, so in the...

Meanwhile, after discovering I've been dead for almost 5 years, I've decided it's time to finish my mother's requests and send my brothers wife the Black Hills Gold jewelry she was promised. I e-mailed my brother, he e-mailed back about wondering about it - decided better to let sleeping dogs lie, mom's will and all that crap.

Let me remind readers that his wife stuck her nose into a bee's nest regarding me and my recently deceased grandmother, and harsh words were spoken between us.

Brother is all happy to finally have right done by his wife and daughter.

PSSSSHHHHHHHHHH... but, I'm not going to be bitter and go THERE again.

I'll box up what's left in the jewelry after what I want and what Amanda wants for herself and her daughter. That boxed stuff will go to HER and she can wear it in good health.

Woman-to-woman, this won't be done or forgiven between she and me - and I said to brother that I don't want to re-hash what's between us, but for YOUR information she said that after my mother passed away she didn't have to be nice to me anymore....
Oh? You have been married to my brother for all these years and you've just been being nice to me? Boy, I'm a dummy.

Then there was the fracus with Grandma - after dad died and I was advised that Gram had paid off dad's mortgage, and asking her how much was due back after the house was sold opened up a huge argument, my brother's wife got involved, and I got a chewing on the phone from her.

Now I'm supposed to do right by this phony cow...I'd sooner hold onto those earrings until Hell freezes solid...especially after being accused of pettiness and festering old wounds and materialism, then he tries that peace, love and happy feelings barf.... oh GOD I hate it when he starts that wicken shit. He got some sort of guru thing going after his several brushes with death and bouts with cancer, hep-c, and harley- and drug- related issues -- so of course it's all about letting it go and healing waters and smoking insense burners and chanting for him...yep good.

Here is my to-do list:
Dad's estate settled - check
After the jewelry is mailed - Mom's estate settled - check
Brother and wife happily invited to go screw themselves... check and check.
