My brother isn’t an asshole. I was just upset when I thought that. He actually did text me later in the day and we had dinner with them tonight. It was very nice.
We all collectively do not like the officiant of the funeral. He is a family “friend”, I think he is my grandfather’s cousin’s son. Something like that. Anyway, everyone but my grandma hates him. He is very fake. He likes to flaunt his wealth and how much better he is than everyone else. He has indeed helped my grandma very much over the last year, but I do NOT think it is out of the goodness of his heart. He is in it either for the “glory” of showing everyone what a selfless guy he is, or (more likely), to be included In her will. My grandparents are very wealthy due to a series of good investments by my grandfather and exceptional saving skills by my grandmother. If you went to their house you would never know how much money they have. But he does, and I imagine he’s quite greedy. I just hope he’s respectful.
My brother was worried about our uncle coming up to him and being an *** at the funeral. I mean, my uncle is definitely an ***, so I wouldn’t put it past him, I just told my brother to come up with a canned response and throw that out there and just walk away. Do not engage.
Anyway...in good news they are taking me off my student and putting a male para with him. I will be with the girl in our class. I am fine with that, I just didn’t want to lose my team. I need to get away from my current student anyway. He is just so out of control. I’m not sure how much meds will do until they find the right combo, and we all know that could take years. He breaks my heart because of how obviously wretched he feels, but at the same time I don’t feel like being threatened all day, especially knowing that I am not much bigger than him.
So other than other work related drama (just some BS that’s not even worth getting into) I’m going to have a quiet night,
