On the Plus side: Monty decided to clean up my house. He swept the living room, cleaned behind the two couches, cleaned behind the chair, cleaned behind the big roll top desk, behind the stove, behind the fridge, behind the freezer, etc and etc.
On the MINUS side: He tore my upholstered chair apart looking for mice. Now the chair is useless to sit in. The dining room floor and kitchen floor are covered with debris. Hopefully, it will be gone by morning. I'd say gone by the time I awake except Monty KEPT ME AWAKE ALL DAMN NIGHT.
If someone in the EA needs a clean-up guy, You have have Monty
I managed to get to sleep sometime in the late am and slept till 4:00pm. I awoke with a headache. Worse yet, my doctor refused to write a prescription for my lancets to prick my fingers

It could be worse, I could be a Canadian, like IEunuch.
Oh wait, Canadians get free health and dental care, Canadians don't invade nations like we do, Canadians have civilized election campaigns.....Ok, I'll go to Canada
The pharmacy finally contacted my doctor who said my insurance wouldn't cover my lancets to prick my fingers. If I wanted to purchase them, the cost was $78.00. Screw that, I bought a box of cheap lancets, $7.60 for a box of 100.
The only Xmas present I was expecting arrived today: A new wireless keyboard and 7 dvd's from the old western series, Have Gun Will Travel. Thank you Ken_SD.
I awoke today at 5:20 am. The only things wrong with that is there's nothing on TV that early, except infomercials, and there's no restaurant or fast food place open to those like me who don't own a vehicle.
Like the Wicked Witch in Oz, I'll bide my time till Gus's or Jack-in-the-Box opens at 7:00 am.
City Code Enforcement came by today to cite me for three violations: (1) Trash cans were visible from the street. I remedied that. (2) Trash of metal near my house. It's Monty's stuff and he said it would be gone by tomorrow. If not, a scrap dealer I know is coming Monday to get it. (3) The siding on my roof needs repainting. I told the official I won't have money for it till January 1 and he said ok.
New at this format, so if this is in wrong place, sorry. I agree your situation is complex, and so best I not advise. But I do have a general comment I am sure of: Generally, guys like yourself who are open and honest, and use forums like this, almost always fare better in most situations. This for several reasons. One, just writing it helps you organize thoughts. Also, someone may/usually will have something to offer.
Further, some of the "dangers" of psychological situations are eliminated by voicing all this. Denial and neglect are far less likely here--as your discussing it pretty well eliminates those two "unhealthy" practices. People who end up in bad trouble are usually kind of "loners" who feel they have nobody.
This format is great, I think, for all the above reasons. These people care and are real friends, or would not be bothering to answer. It isn't getting all the answers that matter, but finding people like this who care.
Important: I went back and re-read your original. Your encounters with the police were not real serious (no violence, etc), and very correctible. Messiness is probably part of all of us--just make needed changes as best you can. Caring for parents is challenging--we went through it. Be proud you are there. I had an uncle and a brother who ran away when their Mom got older--you are so far ahead of them. On the particulars, call people who can give information. With my Mom, we asked a ton of people for solutions and got help. With the national economy bad, some stuff will not be easy to get--but be clever, and you will adjust. Tend to "unload" on women rather than men, in general. Not always true, and lots of exceptions (older men, gay men, trained men in these areas), but average men, no, and women are more into such. But men into erotic, like Eunuch Archives, tend to have broader perspective than just the average guy. Good you are here. I am gay--often the gay brother is the one who can handle taking care of Mother (somewhat common). Macho brother fell apart. I just turned 70 years old a half an hour ago. Best Wishes, friend.
