This house is a pain in my ass! I used to live here ffs, but most things I’m currently using aren’t things I used before. I’m using their stuff since everything in the basement is crusty and busted. I also permafucked my neck and back from carrying Oscar’s litter downstairs and vacuuming up his godawful mess. There was so much litter on the bathroom floor and elsewhere, that he might as well piss there. It was also outside the bathroom, him and Lucy somehow tracked it all over the house, even on the friggin couch. I was wrecked and sweaty, so I got in their shower which is also weird. I had a time.

Uncle Johnny took me to Arbys for dinner last afternoon, so I did get out of the house. No idea what I’m going to do today. My neighbours are being very supportive and helping me out a lot. Maybe I should visit them? Except I’m not really one to just walk out and knock on doors unless there’s a good enough reason. I always feel I’m intruding or being annoying. My uncle will probably help me out again. I’m also going to text Lauren around 6:30-7am to see if she can spare ANY extra time for me this week. Dad is supposedly having a biopsy today. That means mom could possibly come home tomorrow. I really, really want them both home so we can have a decent holiday season and be warm & cozy. Decorate the tree. Watch movies and videos. Hype them both up about the lame gifts I got them. I’m hopeful that dad won’t have to stay in Charlotte for long after he gets a definitive diagnosis. Maybe he can come back and get his treatments closer to home. That would be wonderful.

I didn’t get out of bed until 4pm yesterday. That’s just depressing. This bed, like their shower is weird and alien. It has controls that I don’t understand. It’s a huge split bed. I needed to raise my side and wound up raising my feet instead. I could not fix it, so I tried again and the head finally raised. My side looks like a soft “V” now. My own bed has a simple up-down button.

I got paid today. I’m going to go ahead and get a shelving unit off Amazon. It’s too annoying to have all this shit lying around. Shoot, I might need two.
