Talked with W briefly Tuesday, she had recommended a new blizzard at Dairy Queen and I was trying it. Redneck, I know, but it was a fun convo. As I was heading out of town yesterday, I stopped to catch "Blind Side" with a friend. Great flick.

As the previews were rolling, W called in tears. I ducked out real quick, and she said her new roommate had messed up both of their computers, and W was worried it was a virus. I told her it didn't sound serious and that I'd call after the movie.

I called from the road and fixed the problem fairly easily. She mentioned her Christmas plans didn't start until the 26th, so I took a chance and called her back to see if I should detour for a couple days. She thought for a second, then said "I can't do that". Not a cold rejection, I stayed upbeat and said that's OK. She said she used some of the bubble bath I got her, and enjoyed it.

GFIL is in the hospital is in the hospital, and she's going to take care of him for a week. It doesn't sound serious, an infection because his skin is so thin at 85. She is a tremendous caretaker like you said River, and I complemented her on that. That sounds like a rough Christmas even if it's not serious.

GFIL is on her mom's side, her other grandparents died just before we got married. GFIL pays for a lot of her medical and owns the gas well she gets royalties from. FIL and GFIL talked and supposedly reconciled after MIL's death, but like good businessmen they still talk badly and compete against each other. I think it's ridiculous that this continues to go on.

W called later to complain about her roommate, supposedly it's a short-term arrangement because W needs help with rent. i listened and validated.
