I'll spend mine working in one way or another.
Got up early today and attempted to pay bills. Found out my sibling (who is disabled) had a 4 figure phone bill. Checked it out online, then discussed with said sibling and found out someone he/she knows has been scoring very expensive Eastern European phone calls from him/her, in addition to "borrowing" money. Got everything documented and hotlined him/her. Happy holidays? I don't think so. Not when you have no money in your account.
Installment #1 of 2 sets of books for the next grad class arrived today. Hope the other one (which has the required text) shows up by the time class starts in about 10 days.
Bubba and friends are having fun at the baseball tournament next door. Dahey is out making sure he's not eating everything in sight.
Should be a fun day....stay tuned.

good luck w/ this issue w/ your family member - did elder protective for a few years in a different state, and these 'exploiters' are VERY clever and manipulative - and even if you get rid of this one, hopefully your family member will allow some permanent changes in access/control of his/her income/resources - cuz in my experience another 'exploiter' comes along all too soon! finding the balance btw. allowing someone the right to make poor choices and have to live w/ the consequences vs. infantilizing them OR watching him/her be exploited and abused - so hard to find that balance!
