Yeah. Dad's inheritance is supposed to be split equally, luckily. He's progressive for a 75 year old. I just don't think he realizes that what he's doing hurts everyone else in the family. Like, my partner and I helped to fund my mother's hospice care a few years back and flew in other family members and funded some of them staying here for the duration of her time in hospice. We didn't do that so that he could go spend the money he saved from us doing that on my garbage fire of a brother. We did that so he could have that money already saved for HIS hospice care, etc.
Frankly, I don't even want my dad's help. If I asked him, he'd give it to me. But it would come back to bite me because someday he's going to need MY financial assistance to take care of him. I just want him to NOT help someone I despise at MY future expense. :/ It's not like my brother is going to sell his farm when dad's on his deathbed and needs that money to not be dying in a gutter. Those expenses are gonna fall on the younger family members with stable lives.
Gardening is great, though. It always helps to work your frustration out by putting a spade to the ground, stepping on it hard, and imagining that the tree root you just cut through was the spine of your enemies!
In other news I have my new 40sqft bed finished now.

I wish it were, but it's not. He's a terrible person who has done terrible things, then convinced everyone around him that the people he did it to were at fault or lying about it. So somehow everyone but me still likes him to some degree or another. Even though they KNOW he's done awful things before because most of them have experienced it at least once.
Maybe tomorrow I will go chop some wood. Most of it is split, I even made myself a lil wood rack, but I got really good at wood chopping with my new axe last fall... And there's a good handfull of unsplit ash logs out there. XD I can even dig that second new bed in where the English Ivy is on the side of my garage. Chop chop through the vines with a shovel! Some of them are pretty thick, ya know? So I'll need to sharpen up that spade edge... I have some bunnies that need processing too.... Better get the knives sharp while I'm at it...!
