Changes, changes, and not a thing to wear! Wait, I've mixed my metaphors again. Heh.

The first bit isn't really good news....my uncle went in for emergency surgery last week, AND has a badly infected toe. Seems the current state of his health is going to prevent him from coming to care for Meme afterall. And while I'm sorry that he's struggling at the moment (the surgery, while complicated, had an overall successful outcome and, as a result of being in the hospital anyway, his toe is going to get proper attention as well), it does seem that the universe pretty firmly closed that door as a possible solution to the "too much month and not enough money" dilemna that Meme and I have been facing.

In the meantime ("oh no, not the MEANtime"...hehe) an elderly but financially "set" cousin of my grandfather's, who regularly checks on Meme, has offered to send a "one-time modest contribution" to help Meme stay in her home! Yayyyyyy!!!

AND....on a whim (for I can count on one hand the number of times I play video lottery games) I put $20 into a machine last night and got a Royal Flush, winning over $300!!! Yesah!!! This definitely helps with the overall plan!!

And finally, my Adam had an idea about one possible scenario that could keep Meme "home", and I ran it by another family member, and lo and behold, it JUST might work so that Meme doesn't have to go into a nursing home!!! It would mean moving again, and having to find homes for my sweet pets, but if push comes to shove (and it certainly looks like it might), I think we have a plan "B".

And, Meme has finally conceded to eating leftovers, as well as meals made from beans so she can remain "home" as opposed to a facility!!! LOL!!!

In other news, Adam and I are making plans.....so many plans.....makes me giggle madly!!!

I am currently: marvelous
Listening to: the mounting skype hours logged with my sweet guy!!!
