• VERBAL request from TOMMY for me to go over to his lady friends house to help set up her DVD player. This was his second request to do that in the past two weeks. I informed him that we all had met at his lady friends house earlier this year (mid Jan 2026), that we set up his lady friends DVD player, tested a DVD and also had take out Italian for dinner while I was there. The take out was food he had personally gone to pick up while I was working on setting up her DVD player.  I reconfirmed that we had ALREADY done the DVD player setup and that his lady friend has a DVD player, and we DID set it up. I have messaging, audio logs and other data confirming the event but he swears none of it is true (and even became quickly angered when I very calmly informed him that we had already done all that just a few months back but he 100% can’t remember us having dinner and spending that afternoon together just three months ago.)

• Messaged TOMMY’s lady friend to confirm her awareness of our last meeting and setting up her DVD, expressing that I needed to very tactfully explain to TOMMY that the work he has been requesting has already been seen too. Received replies from his lady friend saying that any more DVD stuff was not of interest to her (a relief) and documented our conversation for later reference if necessary

• Began researching and gathering information about local Houston support groups for persons such as myself who live alone with an elderly parent that is showing signs of normal/or not cognitive decline. Earmarked two meetings this week and noted to do further research and ultimately attend

• Filed items from “NEW WORK” folder and transferred to JOEL personal filing cabinet for review and/or work the following day or Monday

• Back to B/friends house on SW side of Houston by 4 pm.

• Short verbal with TOMMY about our planning a joint meeting with siblings to discuss the details of his TRUST arrangement. Began notes on how best to minimize complexity of such a meeting IE: probably most confusing getting everybody with attorney at once due to their 100% lack of how anything we’ve already discussed functions and it would be impossible in a short meeting to bring them up to speed. Main considerations: EAST TX LAND as primary TRUST instrument with other TOMMY based financial accounts being left as they are with beneficiary information designated at said institution. VERSUS retittling everything, brokerage, financial accounts and everything else into the TRUST as the latter would seem to be a cumbersome extra step.
