Ugh, this sucks
So the roommate is talking about raising my rent. Because heating oil is going up again. And we live in a drafty metal box that only holds heat in the summer. And as of right now I can just about afford what I pay her. Getting paid $7.50 and hour and working on average between 32 and 39 hours a week doesn't really mean I'm rolling in the monies. And to get 39 hours I have to work 6 days a week. Which is hard because I have a fucked up back and it really needs recovery time.
I don't want to have to move back home, but it's looking more and more likely if I can't find some sort of real job. I should probably think more seriously about setting up a store on etsy. If nothing else I might be able to bring in a little more money for myself. Plus you know keep myself from eventually being buried under paintings, sculptures, scarves and blankets.
Plus if I move home the roommate can't afford to live her on her own. And neither of us want to have to move back home, at least her mom is whiling to turn the garage into an apartment for her. My mom is more likely to gleefully wake me up at 5 in the morning because she feels like being an ass.
