The homeowners' association probably will tell me that they are not responsible and I will have to pay for repairs. It seems that whenever anything happens, they are not responsible! We are all so annoyed at them!
Then Jessie called me this morning to "remind" me of Mackenzie's chorus tonight. Her memory is not good. I think it is a combination of the meds she takes and the MS. It could just be the meds, but I never argue with her about what she thinks she told me, or thinks she did. It breaks my heart, but I don't want her to kinow any of this. She does very well with the kids, with her life, and so on. Sometimes, a little delusion can be better. I know Mackenzie works around it, and I'm sure Steve does. We never discuss it either, although Mackenzie is a little bit open with me about how she manages her Mom.
So, I guess I'm going to a concert tonight. I said to Jessie that I would be there unless there is too much of a downpour. Her answer was something about, why, can't your car go through the rain? Yes, my car can drive through rain, but the roads are dark and dangerous, there is flooding in my area, etc. Sometimes it gets disheartening to be overlooked, no matter what the reason.

Do you have anything outlining what the homeowners' association IS responsible for?? If not, you should demand it. When I lived in my condo they would cover anything structural, roofing, piping outside the unit, heat, etc. When I paid my monthly fees I knew exactly where that money would be going!
I'm sorry you're having problems dealing with Jessie's memory loss. It probably is best to just not let her know. I hope it stops raining and you can make it to the concert!
