Month: March 2024

And Happy Birthday to my cousin🥳🎉🎂🎉🥳❤️! He is awesome, I just wish we lived closer together, I’m in CA and he and his family, is in Chicago.

I had to cancel my therapy appt on Friday. I was home sick. I actually came home sick. I was at the transportation yard at 6:30am as I’m supposed to be, and about 6:45am my tummy flipped and I felt , I, e in was going to be sick. I let dispatch know i was there but I was leaving, I let them know what buses I ride, and I flew home. While in the driveway, I put in my absence for work then I went into the house. After all was said and done, I slept most of the day, and of course couldn’t sleep at night. I think I fell asleep, more like forced myself to sleep about 3:30am and woke up again around 5am and my alarm was set to go off at 6am because I had a class to go to yesterday morning. When I got up and moving around, my sinus cavity was so stuffed, and still is as I write this. SPRING is definitely right around the corner! 🌹🌺💐🍃🌿🌱

Has anyone ever taken a Clifton Strength assessment? I don’t know if you can take it for free, but I took it for work and the result were so interesting and pretty spot on. https://www.gallup.com/cliftonstrengths/en/252137/home.aspx

That was the class or Professional Workshop I had yesterday. Like I said, it was very interesting. Here were also raffles and I won a Canes gift bag with a lot of goodies in it!

Tomorrow marks 8 more days until Spring break, THANK GOD! I may not be doing anything, or going anywhere, but the mental break will be quite welcomed!!

I have to code for now to get ready for work, tomorrow so, until next time, have a great evening!

TTFN,

Right now, as I’m writing this, I’m waiting for a call from a therapist. I’ve been in therapy before, especially right after my husband died, then off and on since then. I’ve decided to go back, especially now, due to work.

I no longer believe in the “see something, say something” mantra. For what? I’ve seen things and said things by reporting them to my boss and two days ago, I was the one that was removed from my position, while the one that I was reporting, is still in the position. I’m a permanent employee for behaviors and the other person is a sub for medical.

Not only that, but I have more seniority than the person they put in my place and she could very well do the job they put me in, but they gave her my position in the classroom. I have no problem with this girl and I told her that recently. I told her I have nothing against her. She’s a cool person. I have a problem with the person I was reporting on still being in that position and she’s a sub.

So let me get this straight. The “powers that be” call around and get a permanent male aide for my student, take my student away from me, and they don’t call around to get a permanent female to be the breaker/assistant, and they keep the sub aide in the class, and get rid of me. I asked, “when does a sub employee take precedent over a permanent employee?” I was told, “She’s medical.” I refuse to believe the powers that be, doesn’t see the irony of their statement.

Sounds like retaliation to me. There was no need to take me out of the class. As it is, students that have their 1-1’s have them, what about the rest of the students? Don’t they get someone to look over them, watch out for them? Or do they not matter?

I have so much more to say, I just need to formulate my thoughts.

Right now, I’m angry and hurt. While the powers that be try and make it all colorful, it really isn’t it. It was a dirty move, and I stand on that.

Until next time….

My daughter and her boyfriend drove to OC to meet up with her siblings and their Aunt to pick up the TRUST papers.

Their Aunt made reservations at a restaurant and then after a few minutes chatting, said she had to go, she had a party to go to and a sporting event of her grand-daughters. Apparently she became a widow again in 2018 when her second husband passed away. She told the kids she’s dating someone but will never marry again. She’s 80 years old. The kids also learned her oldest daughter is a paralegal. I thought she was an attorney. I was close.

It also seems there was another lien on another house Anthony had when he was married to his older kids mother. They lived in Buena Park and there was a lien put on that house due to being in arrears of child support. When the house sold, his ex got a bulk of the money, as she should have. Funny how, at the Celebration of Life, their other aunt was telling the kids that their father always paid his child support. Really? Two houses, liens against both houses for non payment of child support tells a different story, wouldn’t you say?

My daughter’s sister is going to have one of her friends read over the papers they all received just to make sure it’s all on the up and up. My daughter feels something if off. I feel that since nothing is in their names, the TRUST is still responsible for the property tax and inheritance tax.

I told Sarah that I truly believe her fathers family members were unaware or had forgotten about the letter her uncle had sent me in mid 2000’s about the lien on her fathers house from the Dept of Child Support for non payment, where he mentioned the house was in the Trust and would go to the kids when their father dies.

Anyway, in these papers was a copy of her grandmothers death certificate as well as a copy of her father death certificate. Sarah had already received true death certificates of her father earlier last week.

The last page of the bulk she got was like notes her aunt added. It was dated today. It said that the Matriarch passed away in 1995. Her 5 kids inherited her TRUST. “Worked on trust in 1996 and 1997.” It states the Aunt was elected administrator on the TRUST however there’s no court papers stating this and the property tax bill my daughter and her siblings got in November 2023 state someone else is, the uncle that sent me the letter in the mid 2000’s. This last page goes on the state that the Aunt “did not collect any money working on the TRUST. Paperwork, phone calls, trips to bank, going up to Big Bear, meeting up with realtors, cleaning and painting the houses (with some help of Family). Rest of people on TRUST did very little to help. Just complain. Property tax and other expenses was paid out of (Aunts) checking account, then reimbursed from the TRUST. We also paid into inheritance tax from trust. So as you can see we did our share of payments.

So at present this property on ( address, city, state, zip code) is your responsibility now. We did not inherit it.”

All the above is in bold caps except this part: “ ASK: if children inherite property is it their responsibility to pay property tax. “ Still, nothing is shown with Sarah or her siblings name on anything.

The Aunt continues in bold caps: “ Hopefully Louise will be accommodated when the sale of the house is done. It is not our responsibility from now on.”

The aunt mentioned that she and her older sister paid for the cremation (of their brother) and that the youngest sister did not want to even though I asked her.

Her last sentence said “We paid and worked on the Celebration of Life for Anthony.”

Sarah told me this evening that one of the other aunts asked Sarah older sister for reimbursement for this “Celebration.” can you BELIEVE IT?

Anthony, their father, had nothing to do with his 3 children for 30 years. Why would they reimburse for this service? They were INVITED to the “Celebration” and it was a pot luck! WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL? The kids aren’t going to reimburse jack. The kids don’t even want his ashes and did not give one fuck when the aunt asked, “ we gave Louise his ashes, is that ok?”

Apparently at the end of the Celebration of Life service, a cousin had given Sarah’s brother a bag, saying “these were your dads, they may fit you.” It was unwashed, stinky clothing. Her brother was pissed and threw the bag away with the clothes as he feels they were the clothes their father died in. WHAT THE HELL was that cousin thinking??

I’m just aghast.
