Should be in bed. Had a good weekend, although it started out rocky. My mother called on friday morning after spending the 3 previous days not returning calls and telling Hospice not to tell me anything about what was being done with my brothers body or plans for a funeral. Then she calls as I am packing to leave for an SCA event for the weekend that I am in charge of registration for. And do her usual job on me. Tells me she is doing a memorial service the next day. When I say I am sorry but I can not be there (too late to get someone else to do registration at that point) I get "I am not surprised, you were not there when he was alive, why you would be when he is dead." Thanks mom, love you too.

I swear, when this is done I am not having anything else to do with her. I am not interested in being used as a weapon like she did my brother.

The Obit was in the paper while I was gone. Since the link to the St. Pete. Times does not seem to work very well (some kind of script error) I will just copy it here:

I am sure my mom wrote it. "nuff said.
