I SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN TO SAY THIS BUT...................
Dang life has been boring. I still haven’t started at the school yet. I am most frustrated. One would not think it would be this complicated to get a job at a elementary school would they! I am very close to giving up on them. But my other options are not great.
Not much going on in life, like I said, very boring! Same ole same ole. Sophia has been home sick for the past couple of days so at least I have had someone to talk to! If I don’t start working soon I am going to go crazy here. Eight months of not working at all is enough to drive me there. At least when we were living in wine country back in CA and I was at home I was doing stuff for the company Angus owned! And I had money to keep me busy with, which always helps lol.
This trying to save every dime is not much fun either let me tell you. Especially when you have a mother like mine, some things just never change. We have been giving her a good amount of money every month to cover all utilities and then some, a lot of some. Enough that she was able to buy a new computer when hers finally died over the summer. Which is good, its what we wanted for her. To have some breathing room with her bills while we are here with her. To have the money to fix some things in the condo so when she goes to sell it will look nicer. Extra money she just doesn’t have after paying all her bills every month.
So was I ever so surprised when I got a knock on the door last Thursday from the electric company. They wanted to shut it off! What the...? They wouldn’t take a check from me either. They said it was way beyond that. They needed a bank check from her bank. They are tiered of doing this with her. So I asked just how much she owed, over $900! So then I felt bad because the water tank went a couple of months ago and that cost her a few hundred dollars and she wouldn’t let us give her anything. So I asked them if it would be OK if it was a bank check from my bank. He told me that I would have to call the office to see but, he wasn’t sure they would because she has owed them a lot of money for the past couple of years. Hummmm, what’s up with that? Dang, I know money is tight with her. But what is she doing with all the money we give her? She isn’t spending it on the condo that’s for sure.
So a very confused conversation with her over the phone and she took care of it. And I was able to convince her to just let us pay the utilities. So I asked about the gas, where I might find the latest bill for that and she said that she wasn’t sure but, she would pay the last one and we could take it from there. So I wait every day to not have hot water.
Its pretty sad when something like this happens and I say life is boring. It just doesn’t faze me anymore. Not after everything that has happened in the past two years. Nothing could surprise me anymore. Well, except that if they found my EX and he actually took some responsibility for his three children. That would shock the shit out of me.
