Last night we went to Gemini Manor for the salon event. I had a good time. We were supposed to be going with another friend of F's. He is interested in a more intimate relationship with her but I have told him that I would rather he didn't. She is very chaotic and I feel that his life is chaotic enough without adding her energy to it. He isn't happy about it but is honoring my feelings in the matter. Lately he had been telling me that she was getting things together, wasn't using meth anymore, etc. She was going to come over at 9 and then we would go pick up our other friend.
I had a candleburning that I wanted to do on Sunday during the waxing phase of the moon so did it while we waited for her. When I was done I saw she was 10 min. late so he called her. She was busy with someone and said that she would meet us at the party later. F. was unhappy that she had proved herself unreliable again.
She never did show up at the salon though. We picked up our friend and headed to the Manor. I had a good time and got to hook up with another friend I had not seen yet this trip. I met her latest boyfriend. We didn't stay as late as we sometime do which was all to the good since we were both pretty tired. We made it to bed before 3 am.
F. had an appointment with his lawyer this morning and found out that the medical retirement he has been expecting and had been led to believe by his Dr. would happen is very unlikely too. He apparently has healed enough to no longer qualify for it while not being healed enough to function well. He is in pain quite a bit and feels that he is not physically has strong as he was before the accident. But he has decided to try some treatments that have been suggested. He is doing swim therapy twice a week this month and will be allowing them to inject epidural steroids into his back. This is supposed to get rid of the pain though not heal anything. And if successful, he will feel better but it won't do anything for his bulging disks. Surgery is supposedly the only real option but it is risky and he isn't willing to take the risk.
He talked on the phone again and put off his helper. I was feeling pretty down about it. But he assured me that it didn't mean we wouldn't get any work done. So he dropped me off at the Laundromat and I finally got all our clothes done. He went to the credit union to clear up some little problem with the IRA, which was in both his name and his sister's name. He is getting his mom's house and his sister is getting some items of furniture and the money. Everything was set up and ready to go. They thought this was already taken care of but it turns out the credit union doesn't manage their IRA's and that a separate official copy of the death certificate was supposed to go to the company that holds the IRA. Sigh… So another detail to handle in regards to his mother's estate.
