My life is a dark room. One. Big. Dark. Room
Well, it's almost been a year and half.
6.5yrs no contact with the wicked witch (mother)
David, my half-brother/mother's golden child is in jail. He's been in jail since June and his next court date is in 6-7 weeks. He has like 27 charges. 1 is for poisoning someone, 13 is for taking pictures of a nude person without their knowledge/consent, and 13 is for distributing those photos. If found guilty on all counts, it looks like he might get 10 years. We'll see. The wicked witch called and left a voicemail, she's wanting me to post his bail. I didn't reply. I keep blocking her numbers and she gets new ones. He was in jail before in late 2006. A girl got a restraining order on him, he stalked her, and he went to jail for 17 days for it. The golden boy isn't so golden. Meanwhile, I'm the devil child yet I've never been in trouble with the law, the most I've ever gotten in my 39 years of life is a traffic ticket. The golden boy is 52, yet he still lives with her for part of the year every year during his off-season because no park will take him on the full year.
My dad passed away January 1st. I went up to NY with Joce to visit him before he passed. He had stage 4 lung cancer. His doctor told us he had 4 months...and 4 months is how long he lasted. He also had dementia. There was some drama involving his money. At some point, my Uncles girlfriend took my dad to the bank and had him put her on his account with him. That way when he passed, the money would legally be hers. Mind you, she didn't care for him or help him with anything. When my Aunt found out, she cussed her out. As soon as my Aunt told me, I immediately opened a new account for him, transferred his money, and changed his direct deposit (the court appointed me his guardian/poa). The old account got hit with a $12 fee every month due to nothing being in it. I went to the bank and had his name removed from the account so it was just her on it. So now she's responsible for the fees. :) I had him cremated and got him a really wonderful Urn. My dads favorite thing in the world was fishing, so his Urn is a guy in a boat on the water fishing. The details are amazing. He's in fishing gear, has a tackle box, and a fishing rod. I have him on a bookshelf facing the tv. If you knew my dad, you knew he was....different. We're pretty sure he had Autism and schizophrenia. At least without the wicked witch around, our relationship improved in his last 4 months. My dad would tell me several times a day how much he loved me. From birth until age 38, my dad told me he loved me once...and that was in 2005 when my Uncle George died. So it meant a lot that he said it as often as he could in those 4 months.
Oh, and screw Saratoga Hospital. Some bitch, who wasn't even his case worker, tried to kick him out of the hospital. She admitted that she wasn't his caseworker and had no authority over kicking him out, but she was giving notice anyway. I asked her questions, she said "I can't answer anything about his case, he's not my case". She gave a 48 hour discharge notice on Saturday morning knowing full well I couldn't do anything about it until Monday. He was dying and had no place to go, we were waiting for a bed to open up in Hospice. I tried to fight it with paperwork, that made her mad but she did whatever to try to push him out. The lawyer we had to appoint me his guardian/poa, I went to his office to tell him what was going on. Bitch was even more pissed I got a lawyer involved, so she backed off after handing me discharge paperwork. Thankfully we found a bed available in hospice a week later where he spent his remaining days. He talked about a man in a hat visiting him, I think he said his mother and father visited him too. I think they were there to take him to the afterlife.
Wes recently deployed, he'll be gone for a year. He last saw Jocelyn in June, since then he hasn't texted or called her once. But yet he has no problem calling and texting me. Bruh...he even called me at midnight one night and sent me a kiss text. *gag* When I messaged him asking like WTF, he said "oh I did that in my sleep" I was like "a call and a text in your sleep?" Then he said his phone "does stuff on its own" and he didn't send it. Narcissist changing their story. When I showed Jerry everything, he got up from his chair and said "It's because he misses this" as he grabbed my butt and passionately kissed me. lol
We bought a house! It's huge! over 3,000sqft in a lax HOA neighborhood. It's 2 floors, has 2 living rooms, 2 dining rooms, 4 bedrooms (2 master bedrooms), 3 bathrooms and 2 car garage. Jocelyn has her own master bedroom with her own bathroom and walk-in closet..it's downstairs down a hallway away from the main area, so she has her own side of the house. Our master is upstairs, our closet is the size of a bedroom! We turned one bedroom into a home gym, and we just bought a bed for the other bedroom. The downstairs living room is where I hang out, Jerry has the upstairs living room (his "man cave").
When we moved out of the house we were renting for 2.5yrs, my landlords grandson moved in. Landlord gave him the task of giving me back my deposit, but he stole it. Instead of doing the right thing and paying me back herself, she's enabling his behavior by fighting me for it. We both have lawyers. Her grandson is like 28yrs old who throws tantrums when he doesn't get his way. I lived next to him for over 2yrs. I hear how much he screams at his grandmother on the phone when he can't afford to pay his rent. I hear how much he screams at his wife when he cheats and he gets caught but blames it on "omg my best friend died" and makes it her fault he cheated. She also hates me because she thinks he cheated with me, he didn't. I would never. ew. We've heard them have arguments about her thinking we were cheating. The first time I met her, I tried to be friends with her. She gave me an attitude and a dirty look "Bitch, I don't fuck with you". So I didn't talk to her again...and when he had chicks over that he was banging while she was gone, I didn't say shit. How did I know he was banging them? Our houses were so close I could hear it. But it's whatever, she found out on her own and still stayed with him and had a baby with him (now she's got 3 kids by 3 guys). I'm glad to be away from that mess.
I'm in school atm for IT. Some of it's easy, some of it's really confusing. I love dogsitting, but it's 24/7 and my pay doesn't reflect how much I work. I essentially make $1/hr per dog for boarding. It's not enough to justify having to be home 24/7, barely ever being able to leave my house or go away for a weekend. I'll be done with my schooling soon so hopefully, I can get started working in the IT field and have more free time.
I don't remember if I mentioned it, I'm not going to go back and check. But I found out I had type 2 diabetes. I spent a year and a half trying to reverse it naturally, I stopped eating bad food and drinking soda. It lowered my A1C from 10.4 to 6.2 .I was told that having gastric sleeve surgery can reverse diabetes. So I had the surgery a year ago and my diabetes has officially been reversed! A1c is 5.1 and I'm off all meds. On top of that, I lost a lot of weight. My highest weight was 288lbs, now I'm 165lbs at 5'7. I probably have 10-15lbs of loose skin that I should be getting removed next year.
Halloween is going to be more lit this year. I got the Crypt Keeper from Tales from the Crypt, The Creep from Creepshow, and Shorty from Killer Klowns from Outerspace animatronics this year. My new neighbor is hyped up to see what my yard will look like, he loves horror stuff like me.
Jerry made Sargent, I'm proud of him. Well, I'm about to go shower and head out. We removed all of our bushes over the weekend and a friend wants them, I got them loaded up in the truck and I'm going to go deliver them to her. I wanted to leave earlier, but I had to wait for the security company to come. One of our outdoor cameras stopped working after our power went out during a storm. The camera was fine, but the wire fried. They ran a new wire and just left.
