Thwarted

My plans for posting more often have been thwarted by one of the topics I wanted to post about, listed in my last entry. No, not fish pie, and not Sqweaky. Nan, the once-upon-a-time-sweet-grandmothery lady who'd welcomed me into her home who is now the wolf-in-grandmother's-nightgown. She has succumbed to the madness, going from calling me by name to 'that girl' to 'that woman' to now 'the lodger'. She used to have a gambling problem years ago but has been good. Unfortunately her eldest daughter took her a few weeks ago and it has been a downward spiral since. She has lost close to 3,000 pounds in 3 weeks which is close to $4,500. She will be sweet one moment and then the next she is screaming about anything and everything. One of her favorite topics is now me: the lodger who is using her bathroom, using up her electricity. She "don't want no lodgers in my house. It's disgusting. I won't have it." Then she will go to her room and watch telly and cackle hysterical laughter for hours. I am hoping the new medication will stabilize her soon. I am also hoping that my housing options will stop falling through. I was all packed up to move out on Saturday and then my option fell through, and then my backup fell through. Then David and Gloria had another idea of where I could go and that fell through. For some strange and odd reason I don't think I am supposed to move out yet. Actually the situation with Nan is similar to what I went through when I lived with my grandparents for 2 years when I was 11 and 12 so I have had some good advice for David and Gloria that they say have helped them get through this. But I think we are ready to be done getting through it, we want to be on the other side of it. Not really helpful to go through when both Gloria and I are trying to do our Masters right now.
