what a day! it was practically out of a bad movie. we spent something like 4 hours at home depot w/alina's mom. i swear she just made it worse. and she made friends. friends! everyone at home depot now knows our life story. and alina and I are famous. we have our posse of workers there that ask us how we're doing and how the project is going. we had new workers come up and ask us what we were doing since they see us there every fucking day! luckily only 1 asshole employee today. yay!
then, the kicker. i got in a HUGE fight with alina's mom! well, big for me. it was such bullshit. living under the tyranny of that household. alina, i don't know how you did it for so long! Champ kept trying to figure out how to organize our kitchen. it was wrong. i suggested they move the counter. champ yelled at me and told me i wasn't visualizing. then went on for 10 mins with ways that wouldn't work. every time i suggested or tried to suggest moving the counter i was ignored or implied that i was stupid and didn't know what the fuck i was talking about. ok. i shut up, but made a few faces. well, alina's mom decided i was thinking champ was stupid, so she yelled at me and stormed out. champ finally figured it out on his own: "no, listen, i've got it! this is perfect! let me explain... we'll move the counter out! i'll show you since you don't understand!" AAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH.
Anyways, so, i had to go get alina's mom flowers and apologize so that she doesn't cancel the project. and, in all reality, i felt really bad about making her upset. i wasn't making fun of champ, i was frustrated that he kept yelling at me for my suggestion, but always asks for our help. oh well, things are back to fairly normal... meaning constant drama. I NEED OUT SO BAD! Anyone want to come save us from our hell? please? i'll love you forever! Hopefully it should be finished within 2 weeks, but that seems so far away. the sheet rock should go in this weekend. then we just have to paint, do floors, then install appliances (all of which we bought today.) I'm tired of being such a wreck about this project. good grief. i wanted to go home so badly tonight. i hurt alina's feelings. i don't work well with living in an unstable environment.
