As I stated yesterday, I’m housesitting for Keith and Lori. I woke up way too early and just spent time in the house being alone. I’ve never been alone like this. Ever. It’s kind of a lot to take and I think about the fact that this is going to be my full-time life pretty soon and I’m not okay with that.
My personal computer stopped charging so I spent a lot of the morning driving around Clairemont trying to find a computer repair shop that was a.) open and (strangely) b.) had someone on site that knew about computers. I must have been to a half a dozen locations before I found this hole-in-the-wall with an old man and the cutest Pomeranian fur ball. It turned out I just need a new charger cord, so I got that going for me.
Then I went over to my mom’s to watch the Notre Dame game. Ryan was in a mood cuz he was really trying to get me to drink. “What happened to you? You used to be fun,” “Why don’t you drink with us anymore? Notre Dame’s playing,” “You’re boring now,” were a few of his choice comments. I think it had to do with the fact that Darren’s birthday is tomorrow so I think he was under the impression we were all going to tie one on tonight to celebrate. In fact, he literally said when I was leaving, “Come on man. We can drink all night.” I replied, “That’s exactly what I’m trying to avoid.” Sean and Darren laughed but Ryan looked genuinely offended. That guy really needs to change is trajectory.
And he’s still pushing me to buy a house with him. Hilarious. Especially after what’s going on with Barb. And that’s another thing. Sean offered to let my mom live in his basement. She turned him down because she doesn’t want to live in Christine’s house. Sean told me that she told him that what she really wants to do is live with me. I can’t tell you how guilty that makes me feel but I seriously don’t want to take that on. She would always be in the living room - and I mean always - she would guilt me into eating her carb bombs, and forget about the midnight trips to the emergency room. But I feel really bad.
I can’t do it, though. I need to take this time to put my life back together.
