So, put together 33 wigs this morning (another 30 to be done tonight). My new model in the tiny size showed up this morning and she's adorable ^w^ A head of another showed up at well as a new shipment of mohair I have to process. It put me in a wonderful mood, till around 4/5pm
What has me down today! Well my parents got notice that the economic stimulus check is coming in. Of course we had a fight! Because I let them file me as a dependent with the stipulation that they would be paying the difference of what I would have got. Well I got 200.00 less in my refund, and they never gave me that. Then I'm not getting my 600.00 stimulus check because I was filed as a dependent. I had to show dad the part online where it said my soc and that I wasn't getting a stimulus due to the afore mentioned reason. I understand money is uber tight with them right now. Dad is still looking for a new job, and he's worried about next winter. I understand, really I do. But if they had listened to me from the very beginning, they would be getting their whole stimulus check, and I wouldn't feel pretty much cheated out of 800.00 dollars right now. I hate to sound selfish, but I need my stimulus check. I won't ask for the other 200.00, but really the least they could do is give me the 600.00. This is their fault, and I kinda needed that money to go towards Kyle and mine's savings/initial apartments costs.
I had been thinking about offering to stay at home, with Kyle moving in until Dad got a job. We'd get my attic space, and the two rooms in the basement done up like family/entertainment rooms. We'd pay half of the food/electric/phone/heating to help them out so they wouldn't have to worry so much. It would be beneficial since we could still save up a bit more. But if all they're going to do is make excuses, instead of telling me outright they need the money, basically being too fucking prideful, why should i go to the trouble? I know this sounds so fucking horrible of me to say. But my father would be too frickin proud to accept my offer anyway. I constantly feel like what I say is absolutely disreguarded here, which is part of the reason I wanted to leave sooner rather than later. I mean I'm willing to help, but it seems like they simply aren't sometimes.
If it were my brother offering the same thing, or in the same agreement with them there wouldn't have been a fight. They would have immediately paid him the money, and they would have accepted his offer. It's times like these that the favoritism hits me the hardest.
Well that's enough of that! I'm so tired lately T_T I need more sleep. Thing is, I'm surprised I haven't caught up by now. Saturday I went home early (much to Brendon's whining) because I was natious as hell, picked up some KFC, watched Kentucky Fried Movie (It was hilarious by the way) with Kyle. I was sleepy so Kyle suggested a nap at around 7pm. Only thing is we never woke up. I slept till 10am, and he woke up at 6:30 being the early riser he is. this morning I slept till 8:30am. I need a vacation, but I just can't do one right now T_T
Kyle and I have a few trips coming up though. July 31st he's taking me to see one of my fav live bands which is Wood's Tea Co (they're rather funny), and then in August we're going to see Prairie Home Companion the play in NY (Kyle's obsessed with the radio show), and then in Oct/Nov of course I'm going to Bakuretsu Con. We'll have our first Christmas by ourselves too ^_^ That I look forward to!
Sigh, off to finish up my orders for the night!
