Grumpy Blogs about life, dreams and Work

Got an email this morning from dear old mom.  She’s desperate again.  She needs money for her vehicle that is going to be repossessed. I’m torn as to whether I should give her the money, or let her slide further into her prophecy of becoming a bag lady.  She has always lived on the edge of civility and survival.  Now that the kids are long gone, she has no reason to keep the semblance of her life together.  Plus, she is pushing sixty with no modern skills, no basic clerical skills, no hope.  Her parents are dead and her sister wrote her off the family books years ago and well, I’m torn.  If she looses her truck, I might be able to convince her to move back and live in my mountain house. 

Guess that means I’ll send her the money.  Was thinking of doing it anyway just because it’s xmas. Ho, ho, ho.

Anyone else communicate with your bag lady mother only via the internet and paypal? -- Regarding grass growing under my feet, I went to a party last night of some relatively new friends in Yuppy Town. The grass grew a little more. This is the first time since leaving home at fifteen that I've lived in one place for more than a year. Hmm.
