First off, I hope all of the gulf coast WWers are safe and sound.
Second, DH was in Gulf Shores with his dad and brother over the weekend, and he evacuated yesterday evening. Poor guy drove there and had only been there 24 hrs when they said that non-residents should clear out. I was glad he had the good sense not to stick around, but he sounded tired this morning. He stayed at a motel somewhere in BFE, Alabama when he got too tired to keep driving last night. Here's hoping he doesn't bring bedbugs back with him.
Third, he has promised more details on the situation with BIL and no-longer secret daughter, but the cliff's notes version is that SIL is apparently willing to overlook it since BIL makes good money and she's disinclined to get a job or move back with her parents. Who knew they still made women like that? I mean forgive, don't forgive, your life, whatever, but you'll overlook someone lying about something this serious for years simply because you'd rather not work for a living? Okay.
Fourth, SIL's baby daddy--the one she met in rehab--is back in rehab. I'm genuinely sorry to hear it. The one time I met him, he seemed slippery, but we were hoping it would all work out. She is on welfare now, which FIL is unhappy about. Not sure of the details, whether she's trying to get a job or what. Apparently she is still with baby daddy, so I wish them luck. I have a cousin who has been in and out of rehab since I was in my teens, and I know how hard it can be for some people to stay clean. I just hope he doesn't end up dragging SIL down with him, especially now that they have a kid on top of it.
I'll post further updates as DH gets bored and calls back. He still has all of Georgia in front of him, plus South Carolina.
