Good news, for once: after the not-a-stroke crisis, and the bleeding-internally crisis, we managed a whole entire weekend without anything new going wrong with my grandfather, and they are finally letting him out of the hospital (thank the stars, because I'm pretty sure any more time there would have killed him for real). He can't come home yet - he's being transferred to a nursing home close to their house to do rehab. But it's a lot easier on my grandma than driving into the city every day, and he shouldn't be there more than a few days, maybe a week, and it's the nursing home where my aunt is a nurse, so she'll be able to keep a close eye on him. Hopefully he'll be able to have the surgery soon and this whole mess will be over.

My mom's boyfriend got home from the hospital this weekend and got straight back into being grumpy and troublesome, so no permanent harm done there I guess. It'll probably be another week before he can start helping her on jobs, but she's worked alone before, it's not like it's a huge hardship for her, especially now that she doesn't have to worry about him or deal with his stupid family. They'll be fine.

And August is almost over, thank god. Fuck you, August, you sucked donkey balls.
