Been having a very productive day around the house today. I helped oldest son organize and box up and store the large amount of D and D dice and swag he’s been buying and leaving spread all over the dining table in the front room (this table only gets used for holiday meals). Organized the boxes of old photos my mom had in the family room (her early Alzheimer’s was such that she tried to organize them but never could quite get it done, and didn’t label photos that I wish she had). Those are now boxed up and ready to store in the garage for now.
Also found another spicy tidbit about my dad! Now, my dad was married once before my mom - or so we thought! (His first wife appears to have cheated on him with an old boyfriend). I found a summons which detailed how a second woman was suing for annulment/divorce from my dad in 1947, after his first marriage fell apart. Apparently, he’d sent away to Chihuahua Mexico for a mail order divorce from his first wife, then took this second woman to Tijuana where they got married. Only problem was, the mail order divorce wasn’t legal and dad was still married to his first wife! After two months together this second woman figured this all out I guess and ditched him. This is a story none of us had heard.
My mom and my dad also married in Tijuana, but because my mom was pregnant with my older brother and HER divorce from her alcoholic first husband wasn’t done yet.
Funny because my mom seemed such a straight arrow when we were growing up.
CMM has been sleeping most of the day, this is usually the toughest day of the chemo cycle. I’m gonna turn over the laundry then wake him up for some dinner.
