Still alive

I haven't been in game much as of late, and 9/10 when I do log in it's usually when everyone else is asleep/school/working/etc. Landon has started school, which means I'm usually only watching him for about an hour after I get off work, then he gets on the bus around 8:15 am and I sleep til around 3:30 pm. Landon comes home and I watch him for a couple hours, then I get to go back to bed at around 6 pm so I can sleep til 8 pm when I wake up and get ready for work. Go to work, (I go to work an hour early every day just so I can relax for a little while away from Landon before starting work) get off at 7 am so I can start the day over.

Good news is that my sister, her husband, and Landon's adhd/bi polar brother are now living here. I didn't get any warning, just a "I'm having a visitor this afternoon so we need to get the place cleaned up". I've gone from asking myself why I didn't stay in North Carolina once a week to four to five times a day to six or seven times this morning. Somewhere in between sleeping, scolding Landon for throwing toys at/kicking the dogs, and now listening to Gabriel telling me about how I don't love him because I won't give him skittles 50 thousand times in the last hour...

Can't vouch for my sanity anymore, I feel like I could actually carry out an intelligent conversation with Sheogorath, but I'm still alive here. Sorry I haven't been on much, but to be honest I have about as much patience left for Zenimax as I have for Landon so I've been subconsciously avoiding dealing with them during the little time I have when I'm awake and not dealing with Landon or work. I've actually baracaded myself in my room with netflix and my laptop so I don't have to deal with Gabriel or my sister while Landon is at school today. :thumb:

Given that Gabriel is now living here, which means I now have Gabriel (adhd/severely bipolar) and Landon (severely adhd) with Gabriel not being in school yet, I don't foresee my stress levels declining anytime in the remote future. I'm also broke again, my savings from the military are gone at this point and with them went everything I had planned for when I got out so I'm a little bitter about that as well. Is my leave here yet? :dizzy:

Why do they have to stay at your place? Where did all you money go?

Eh... I spent about 30 minutes writing up a rant that ended up being over two paragraphs then after proofreading it realized how much venting I was doing and deleted it. I then proceeded to summarize them and ended up with another ranting post...

Short story, I moved in with my mom so I could fix up her house so she could sell it. She let my little sister and her boyfriend move in beforehand however, and they literally drained her dry and then stole a lot of her stuff when they left. She can't afford to sell the place now because she'd owe more than she'd get.

I spent about $800 on a scooter and $120 on a bicycle so I'd have some transportation while my van is in North Carolina and a weed eater and some other tools so I could get the yard fixed up so we could sell the place because the yard was horrible when I got here. It'd not been tended in months and hadn't been properly cleaned up since she bought the place so most of the plants were over my head and there were large rocks and boulders (yes, boulders) everywhere.

Most of my money has gone toward food. Other than the bicycle, the scooter, and the weed eater, the only other things I have to show from it are ESO, the game Watchdogs, my dog ($100 to adopt and $5 a week on dog food), two pairs of work boots, and a few outfits for work that I'm not even allowed to wear anymore due to recent uniform changes. Mom's had to borrow quite a bit of money so she could pay the bills, drive to Ohio to pick up Landon, and a few other things which I didn't really mind so much, I honestly don't expect her to pay me back because she's my mother, but that took a nice chunk out of my savings.

The deal when I came down here was that I'd cover food, mom would cover the bills, and when they found jobs my little sister and her boyfriend would help out until they found a place of their own and we'd made a deal that they'd reimburse me for the money I spent on their groceries when they found jobs. Instead, as it turns out, they weren't even looking for jobs and decided almost overnight to move out and ended up stealing a lot of stuff when they did. We've not heard or seen anything of them since so I'm out all the money they'd borrowed for groceries and such which in hind sight I guess really is my fault because I should've seen it coming. That's what I get for wanting to hold on to the days when my little sister was still my little sister.

After they moved out, bills went way down and the cost of food went way down... for a couple weeks before Landon moved in. Cost of food went way back up for a while, before I realized that the reason we were spending so much on food with him was because he was feeding most of it to the dogs as treats when noone was looking.

I honestly don't know why my older sister and her husband moved down here. From what I understand they both had jobs and were doing fine in Ohio but I guess that's just my family for you. I'm honestly not even sure if we're even related. I'm easily content while they thrive on drama.
