I don't know if I have time for a REALLY long entry, but time enough to go over some of this weekend.
So, in chronological order (more or less)
The Ugly: Between lack of sleep and fear of a REALLY crappy weekend, Kristen and I getting on each other's nerves Thursday morning because we are both very very tense. The best thing I can say about this is, when all was said and done, we realized it quickly and were able to stop before a real nasty fight brewed.
The Good: Thanks to e*check and actually finding a parking spot, we got to the airport about two hours. It gave us time to grab breakfast and sit down for about half an hour before piling on the plane.
The Good: Got in, got picked up, got to the hospital and mom was in noticably good spirits. She spent most of the time before I ducked off for Dinner at the Tozer's teasing me about this or that. Good to know she feels like herself.
The Good: Dinner at the Tozers was good and pretty stress-free. The worst thing that happened through the meal was Kristen's siblings insulting each other and various others. All in all, not bad.
The Good: Came over with Boston Market for mom and Josh (a side and a corn bread for me, just a corn bread for Kristen since we'd just eaten). Dinner was... nice. It was low-key, amusing and a couple of hours passed by before I even noticed it.
The Bad: The moment we came in the room (still on Thursday dinner), Josh pounced on Kristen and I to see about a laptop he was going to buy.
The even worse: This will take a little more explaining.
Before Marc showed up, while Josh was searching through the ads, I mentioned that I, too, had been looking through the ads, at an iPod. As many of you know, I want an iPod quite alot. Mom knows this too, and has enough clue to understand that it's a music player that can hold alot of music. She offered me the chance to borrow her Circuit City Credit Card, assuming I pay her back ASAP (not problematic, since I have all of the money in the account right now. Just have to write her the check.) Somewhere in this, Josh got an OK to use mom's credit card to buy a laptop with the understanding that money was coming any day now to also pay everything off.
The Good: Marc showed up, with dinner for himself (he had originally insisted he cook an entire dinner for everyone or get it catered, but after pressure from mom and grandma, he desisted), with an apple pie in hand. Really, it was quite good.
The Bad: We go home, find the Circuit City credit card, Josh gets onto circuitcity.com to oggle at laptops while Kristen and I try to pin him down into explaining why he actually NEEDS (vs. why he wants) a laptop. He tries to explain how he needs it to do work while at school. On one hand, he goes to a very small university which may very well not have much of a computer lab. On the other hand, he has a perfectly fine desktop in my old room which remains untouched because somehow he fucked it up (I'm not even sure how since he has no internet. Joshua is a walking talking computer bug. I don't know how he fucks up machines, but he does.). It comes out that his laptop "needs memory" because it's slow to boot, but he doesn't have the time to bring it in to be fixed, even though it is under warranty. Bullshit! But he has the money to buy a new shiny and it's HIS life and mom's choice, so I can't say anything...hah!
The really really really ugly: As Josh goes oggling online on circuitcity.com for his computer he "needs", Kristen and I watch a whole bunch of pop-ups appear. We take over the computer (I had been asked to look at it by mom since Josh "fixed" it and that made her nervous.) An hour later, we got rid of one virus. a shitload of spy ware and some fucked up spyware programs that should not be on the computer. But we can't get rid of all the spyware, not can we get one program: OfferApp, to uninstaller because it installed OK, but it's uninstaller doesn't work (HOW CUTE!) Kristen finally goes home and I play for an hour more, logging into different users and running Norton and Ad-Aware. I finally go to bed, but I know I need to make time to play with this more tommorow.
The Bad: Go to sleep at 10. Wake up at 2. Can't go back to sleep. Watch Shrek 2 again.
The Bad: At 4:00, Josh and I drive to Circuit City to play the Black Friday game. For an hour and a half, I freeze my ass so I can help Josh get the computer he wants and grab myself an iPod. In truth, I could have waited until I got home to Maryland and gotten it no problem here, but.. eh. I was stupid. And I wanted an iPod.
The Really Good: I HAVE AN IPOD! :D :D 20 Gig (18.5 actually gigs of music, given that some of that goes towards the iPod OS.)
The Not as good as it seems: Josh gets his Laptop - It costs $1100 + $175 for a 2 year warranty.
The Good.. or is it?: I get home and get back to sleep whilst visions of iPods dance in my head (OK, not really.) Meanwhile, Josh goes NOT sleep, but spends the next couple hours playing with his new shiny.. including taking programs he doesn't want anymore off of the OS. I wake up and he tells me that he tried to install the wireless router without me (GRR!) and can't get it to work, could Kristen and I look at it? Yeah, sure, fine whatever.
The Good.. well, for me. The bad for Josh: Wake up, get dressed, call Kristen who isn't dressed yet, go to the hospital and meet Grandma on the way in. Things start out really nice. I play catchup with Grandma who does feel terribly guilty she couldn't get the energy together to make a dinner (having only run to the hospital for two days instead of every day for .. 11, now, I guess, I can understand and can't, in any way, fault her.). Out of nowhere, grandma asks about our trip to Circuit City. The next 24 hours is, for me, one of those lifechanging events.
Let me back out of the littany of what happened this weekend to explain that last sentence.
What I've always hated about Marc, more than anything else, was this suddenly violent temper. Out of nowhere, sometimes, he'd suddenly get violent and scary. He choked Josh, tried to throw my mom around, came at my father with a metal bat and did quite a number around the house: kicking my locked door in, so that it can't lock again, throwing a chair at a wall, beating the front door with a baseball bat. This scared the hell out of my family and it scared the hell out of me and I never forgave him for it.
Now, I knew, at least inside, that Joshua had some serious anger management issues, as a couple months ago, mom was telling me about an incident where Josh started suddenly throwing stuff at her before storming out of the house. I thought, at the time, Josh had agreed to see some sort of therapish (he has issues... he's always been moody, but this anger, now, is just.. scary.) Honestly, I forgot all about it.
Then about a month ago, Josh and Marc got into a big, scary fight. Josh wasn't doing anything again. Marc who has been earning everyone's trust back by being helpful and, mostly, being THERE, had come over to help mom get plastic on the windows (it was getting cold and mom had begged Josh to do it and he had flaked.) The two of them got into a big and violent fight, destroying the screen door (well, the hinge for the screen door) and a picture in the hallway. By the sounds of it, they both got violent.
All this had been brought up and how grandma, more than mom (mom is becoming afraid of Josh and especially can not handle the fight when she starts getting upset and losing her ability to breathe), is ready to ring his neck.
Anyways, going back to my story.
So, grandma criticized mom for giving in with Josh. Turns out Josh hadn't mentioned that the check he was expecting.. he didn't know when it would come in or if he'd really get the actual amount (not only that, but I never got a straight answer where this loan was coming from: educational loan? some loan from the college to get a computer? What were the strings?)
Now, back at 4:00, I helped Josh buy this thing under the understanding that he had mom's blessings, but what actually came forward was more that mom couldn't deal with Josh and (while she denies this, so far), i suspect she hoped if Josh got his new toy, he'd be happy and helpful for a while instead of moody and unhelpful.
So mom, grandma and I talked for a long time and what came out of it was.. Josh needed to bring the laptop back. Needless to say, this was going to piss Josh off totally. We decided that it was best to explain to him first why and try to get him to see reason instead of returning it before he even knew about it. I'll hold that this was the right thing to do, but god, did it suck.
So, in the middle of the conversation, Kristen had called. We'd hoped to get together with people from Rochester, but we'd all been lax about trying to make plans so that never actually came together. Instead, we decided to get together for lunch. I told her I'd call her when I was ready to go out (at the time Kristen called mom, grandma and I were in the height of "We're going to kill Joshua."
The Good: So I call Kristen back. She has her mom's car for a little while, she'll meet me at my place. We meet up at my place (I don't think I mentioned this, but the hospital was, thank god, only about 15 minutes from home.) She's hungry and so am I, so we decide to do food first. It turns out Kristen had never eaten at Swiss Chalet. So we went there. Food was pretty good and it was nice to get out. I filled her in with what was going on and we had our own private bitch session as both of us were pretty pissed off.
The Better: After lunch, I had to go off and get my phone replaced. I THINK I mentioned that it died a horrible death, but if not, it started to die on Sunday and was dead as a dead thing by Monday. I went to go check on this Monday at lunch and was told the best I could do was get a phone at the 1-yr discount price (three ties: Full price.. full, 1-yr price.. slightly discounted, 2-yr price.. discounted more) if I sign up for another two years. Not great, but.. whatever. I got to Cingular and they told me that they could give me the 2-yr discount price. I got a REALLY nice phone (well, I'm happy with it) for $90, if I added messaging and voice mail to my bill. OK, that sounds reasonable. I can afford another $10/month now. So I did it. And got a nice phone. TWO shinies in one day. :)
The bad again: Kristen had to be back home by 5:00 and it was 4:30, so we both went upstairs and played with mom's computer for half an hour, fixing Josh's wireless router (I'm not totally sure why we did that instead of something else, since we knew the laptop would have to go back, but I'm glad we did, in the end.) It turns out Josh had (SURPRISE SURPRISE) been incredibly stupid with the router, had left the front door wide open for anyone with half a clue to steal our bandwidth. Kristen fixed it and fixed the settings and we decided NOT to tell josh how to fix it since he didn't need that to log onto the network. The good thing to this is.. whether he gets a laptop or fixed his desktop, if he can figure out his wireless modem, he can now use the internet and not use mom's computer to do it.
The OK: Kristen leaves. I go back to the hospital and hang out with mom and marc. Marc starts trying to get us all to focus on the fact that even when she gets out of the hospital, mom isn't going to suddenly be 100% and will need some changes in her life. He's not wrong and we do need to consider changes, but I don't think I could deal with that just right then. Let's get her out of the hospital first.
The so ugly it makes medussa look like paris hilton: I go home. Josh comes home. The moment he calls to ask if I need anything, he knows something's wrong. I say we need to talk about the computer. He knew what that meant. He comes home. I try to talk logically to him: explaining that mom is not making money now, that he doesn't have the money in hand, that if he doesn't get it by the first payment, no one can cover it. That he doesn't know when the money is coming or even how much, specifically. He calls mom. They have it out. Mom suggests that if he can get dad to agree to cover the loan he can keep the computer. Josh calls dad who not only won't agree to cover the loan, but reminds Josh that he hasn't been paying insurance (Josh is giving the money to mom to make up for money dad is no longer giving him. See LJ entries.) and that he owes money. Everyone tells him to bring back the computer. He storms out. Meanwhile, dad calls grandma because he's very upset about this and asks if everyone is on the same page. For the first time in.. quite a while, Josh faces a unified front..against him.
The Bad: At this point, I decide to take the computer back. I was honestly afraid that if I tried the next morning, it would be mysteriously gone and that it would just be easiest if I removed temptation there and then. So it went back. Unfortunately, because it was open, they had to charge 15% of the cost as restocking fees, so mom still owes $147.. but it's not $1200.
The Ugly: I was going to watch "The Day After Tommorow" Saturday night, but by the time I got home, it was 10. So I thought I'd just go to sleep. I get into the house and all of my stuff, including my iPod!, had been thrown into my luggage and tossed towards the front entrance. The message here is clear "Go home. Now." Way to make me feel welcome in my old home, Josh.
The further ugly: Go to sleep, finally, after calling nearly everyone to tell them about my day. Wake up at 4. Josh isn't talking to me. I watch "Day after Tommorow", though. Whoopee. I call mom a half an hour after Josh leaves and Josh called to apologize to her. He's still not speaking to me. Maybe that's for the best just right now.
The good: Lunch with my father. I'd called him when I got in and we agreed that, if I had time, I'd meet him for lunch. I decided Saturday night (before the big fight), that I had time if it was an early lunch (11:30), so I called him and he agreed to meet me at Uno's. Well.. he and Elaine. Actually, it wasn't a bad lunch. Conversation was MOSTLY light. Two interesting tidbits, though: One.. it sounds like dad is aware he knows why Josh isn't paying insurance, but more importantly: Two.. if Josh tries something like this again.. buying something big when he owes everyone money, including insurance.. he loses the car.
At the end of the lunch, dad and elaine present me with early Hannukah gifts: a shirt and tie (that actually appear to be NOT my size :p Gotta call him and ask how I return it and GET something my size since it's a nice shirt and tie) and $75! Woo!
The Good: After lunch, I catch up with Kristen and we head over to the hospital for a couple of last hours before we go back to DC. It was a nice couple of hours, interrupted only by the fact that everyone is still, under the surface, seething at anger with Josh.
So... it was.. a weekend. Alot to digest. Alot to think about.
and now I need to stop posting and go back to work.
