Family Update News

I just got off of the family call on Google Hangout with my 2 sisters. I got to see my little niece (she's adorable!).
So the reason my mom was in the hospital in Taiwan - she had pneumonia, stroke, and diagnosed with diabetes. She didn't notify us kids about her situation until 3 days later before she called my sisters. She didn't call me because she knows I'm trying to build my new life in Colorado. Our mom's the type that is willing to sacrifice her own to help us so that we don't have the same struggles that she is going through. But we three kids want to make sure she is also taking care of her well being. Thankfully, she is fine and recovering in Los Angeles, CA with my sisters. The plan is still going with mom moving to CA, but the tactic is different. Since I moved out of the condo, she plans to move into it and sell the other house and then sell her business. The condo itself is a mess due to that stupid downstairs neighbor keep trying to blame more stuff on my mom. Anyways, when she does move to CA (which is earliest is this summer), she may try to continue her dental practice there for a little bit.
I told my sisters my financial situation and they told me not to worry about mom as they both will help take care of her and I am sadly in a situation where I cannot help her. One of my sisters is handling our financial situation for the family as a whole and so she told me that mom is still able to provide some money for me due to my temporary situation. She also gave me some suggestions of ways to help with finding a part-time job that is very flexible so that I can work with a full-time job to help with paying debt, even donating plasma to get some quick cash. Since my tax filing is easy, despite having also moving and such, my sister suggested to try TurboTax and see if I can do it myself (or just need someone to help me with how to file taxes).
Overall, I feel more at ease. My sister is expecting me to call back about the hotel job (seeing if I am hired) and also how much money that I need during this temporary situation. I said half the paycheck (original plan), but she said she preferred it be more just so that I am not scraping by each month.
The sad part of all this is that now both sides of my family has stroke incident and my mom side has diabetes. So now I need to improve my food intake and activities.

Good to hear. Try and stay positive, even though it's difficult to do!
