As the drama llama gallops past....

My sleep schedule is buggered; I've been up all night. Called Mb at 6:30 to suggest breakfast before the food pantry.

Between the time she left her house, and the time she and I met SO Steak'n'Shake, all hell broke loose. Ahab, who was in the hospital, checked himself out and got a ride home with a neighbor. He is not supposed to have a key to his house, because there's concern he'll wander off. Unfortunately, at some point, the neighbor illicitly got a copy of said key.

However, neither of them have the newest security code to the alarm: The alarm company called Mb, then the police. Mb, who has washed her hands of the selfish ungrateful prick, went outside for a smoke. SO got on the phone, called Ahab's house, and started loudly cussing out the neighbor. (For those of you joining the drama already in progress, Ahab is SO's estranged dad.)

We went over to the food pantry, wherein more drama ensued; during the fifteen minutes or so between the time Mb and I went in and the time we rejoined SO, SO managed to get himself banned from the premises for using ungodly language and telling someone who objected to fuck off.

I'm very sorry Mb and SO have to put up with Ahab's shit, but I strongly suspect it's not going to be a problem for long. Either the old fool will wander off and get picked up and reported to Adult Protective Services, or he'll get his hands on a key and go out to the garage (which he's been trying to do for months) OR he'll find a copy of the car key and get into another wreck. (His license was revoked last year, with good reason.) I just hope he doesn't take anybody else with him.
