Yesterday just sucked. C had to leave and won't be back until Friday at the earliest, possibly not until Saturday now. B and A left in the morning then came back and were being all weird. B had a breakdown in the driveway, then came back later in the night to ruin my dinner and start an argument. Then I had to sleep alone. Not cool.
Some more details on everything. C's family drives her nuts because like B, they don't know how to make plans and stick with them. First they were doing Xmas on Saturday. Then it changed to Friday. Then it changed as to who was driving her dad. Then it changed to when his doctor appointment is scheduled for. Will it be in person? Will it be remote? No one seems to know. So she ended up going back last night to try and just put all of this to rest. She managed to nail down the doc appointment. 8am this morning, remote. Good. One thing done. But now everyone is all over as to where and when they will do Xmas. Once again, these are the days I am happy to have just me. I am here, I am doing Xmas on Sunday. Done. Worst case, she will be back late Saturday so we can at least have Xmas day together. More to come on that.
As for B and A, they slept in the basement Tuesday night, woke up yesterday and were being all whispery. Apparently they felt awkward being here. Well no shit sherlock. Of course you feel awkward. You're in your exes basement. Go. Be gone. They did take a bunch of stuff and were gone for most of the day. B asked if they could come back over in the evening to get more. Of course. Before they left I asked for the garage remote back. Cue the waterworks. Ugh. Fine. Keep it. Don't care. I spent the rest of the day working. I managed to get all my servers started for today's class, wrote another blog post, and dealt with emails.
I finally went to make dinner around 6:30 when B shows back up. They interrupted my dinner with their tales of woe about how A is autistic and used to living alone and how they have no backup plan and it feels like I am kicking them to the curb. On and on. All I wanted was for them to take the cat. After an hour of all this I got them to agree to take the cat on Tuesday. One cat down. Yes! Small victory. As for everything else, we agreed to wait until after Xmas to sort it all out. Fine. No problem. She threatened alimony again and I held my tongue. She seems to think she has some grounds to stand on but doesn't realize how ruthless I will be if it comes to that. I will destroy her. Plain and simple. I will show how money was spent on drugs. How she didn't contribute to the household. How she forced me into a parental role. It will not be pretty. But if we keep it civil, we will get through this.
Two days of teaching and then it's the weekend. I can make it.
