o shit waddup
Oh damn, it's been a long time. A bunch of stuff has happened, some of it good, some of it meh, very little of it bad. I guess I should start with the bad (from my point of view, at least):
My sister had her kid. Which is a good thing overall, I guess, but I feel bad about it. I'm supposed to be the older, more responsible one, who gets things done first. I don't think I ever really wanted a kid, but I kind of expected that I would have to have one at some point, since I'm passing on the family name & bloodline/whatever. He's a cute little kid, and I guess I'm not jealous of my sister for having him, per se. I don't really want the responsibility and money pit that having a kid would be. Plus, I really do like having disposable income, and going on random adventures. But it still feels kind of shitty that she's doing so well in her life. She and her husband both have great jobs, and she has a degree over me/is more educated, I guess. So I'm not too thrilled about that.
In other terms of "bad", my grandfather on my mother's side passed away a few weeks ago, up in New York. I wasn't as close to him as I was to my father's dad, but it still sucks. I really had wanted to see him, too, and I was up north a bunch last winter. He apparently was really suffering from dementia, so I'm not sure if he'd even remember me.
Last "bad" thing: my money management skills are failing me. They cut a bunch of hours at work, and I spent too much on snowboarding trips last winter, so I'm behind on a bunch of payments. Plus, my dad hasn't been handling my disability finances well, in my opinion.
Ahhh late for work, I'll have to try finishing this up later tonight!
