Found a replacement door for my friend's house but had to send my brother to get it and help install it as I'm quarantining. Earliest they could schedule my Covid test is tomorrow morning. Cough isn't bad but I've got post-nasal drip, runny/stuffy nose, nausea, diarrhea, and generally feeling icky. I've been feeling very cold and then waking up soaked in sweat. I've been sicker & it's probably just seasonal crud, but Mom made me promise to get tested.
Hoping it will be negative so I can resume helping my friend. My friend & brother were Facetiming me while working on the door and noted that while the frame was true and level, the door was sagging & kept hitting the back of the threshold. I told them repeatedly to check the hinges but my brother just talked over me and ignored me. He ended up breaking the threshold. Then they checked and found the top hinge was not installed properly (it came pre-hung) and was slightly bent. My friend ended up drilling new holes in the jamb to let the door hang lower because it was getting dark & he was tired.
My friend is now officially a single parent. There was a ton of drama. His fiance's boyfriend called the cops for a wellness check bc my friend took the phone away at 4am when the gf wouldn't get off the phone with her boytoy. The other guy was accusing my friend of domestic violence, but the cops know my friend. He told them about how she'd attacked him in the past. I hadn't known it until he was telling me about the talk with the cops, but apparently she busted his head (on his left side near his eye) with a frying pan or pot and that may have been what caused the blood clot that gave him a stroke. Cops gave him permission to use lethal force if the boytoy returned, he signed some paperwork for a stay away order, & the cops took his gf away (since she chose to go with the other guy). She then started texting and calling begging for money. She somehow made it back to his house and banged on the door at 6am wanting money for cigarettes. At some point she had wanted him to go to Sonic and get her something to eat and bring it over to the boyfriend's house (bc the boyfriend doesn't have a vehicle). He told her to go to hell. She had no interest in seeing the baby. I really don't know WTF is wrong with her mind. She's about to be really pissed when he stops payment on her phone, but she made her bed. He's actually relieved but I'm sure some depression will start to set in.
Meanwhile, my dogs and cats have been super cuddly as usual, which does help me feel better.
....I never saw that on the news. ...ok, maybe once.
