They give me the same list of providers every time. All of them have no availability.

It sucks. Where I am living we have a surge of people coming to to escape the areas affected by the fires.

Most are very rich people. They see a house for sale and are offering cash payments up to $100K over the asking price.

The house I live in I could sell and move but where would I go? I reached out to a 2nd cousin in TX and he didn't want to get involved.

Furthermore, the house I live in is very small and not worth a whole lot so I could never find a place to live for what I might be able to sell this house for. I cannot do that any way as I was advised to have his name taken off of the deed.

Oh what a huge mess I have on my hands.

One small step at a time is all I can do. I will call to reschedule the doctor's appt. He may have had COVID as he was coughing a lot up until just a few days ago. So, waiting a bit is not a bad idea, at least until I am certain that he is not sick. I have no symptoms of COVID myself but that does not mean I am home free.

I'll have to look into getting him tested before I can do anything.

That is what this premonition is all about. He may be far sicker than I had suspected.
