I WON THE GENETIC LOTTERY BITZITCHES!!!! PEACE!!! I'M FUCKING OUT OF HERE!!!
This is insane so just bear with me, I know my life is a bit confusing to most of you, hell could you imagine how I feel?! So ok, here it goes:
Sunday I awoke to a message being left on the machine from my lil sister basically telling me that I NEEDED to call her back ASAP. So of course I did....she told me that my grandmother is giving me her 3 bdrm 2 bath townhouse that is on the reservation in Gary, Oklahoma(that I later found out the town is named after my great great great grandpa)...then my dad tells me that there's a "garage"(that's more like a barn) filled with vehicles that need some TLC and are just waiting to be claimed......Then I was told that my grandma is getting me a job as a LNA two blocks down from where I'll be living......and that because we're living on the reservation that my health insurance will be free....AND the nursing home where I work gives out scholarships and grants for people to further their education........the house is in tiptop condition and all I have to do is live there and pay utilities............um......phwew!!!!
I JUST WON THE GENETIC LOTTERY!!!!!!!!
Holy shit my head is still spinning!!! I mean I knew that my family on my dad's side was loaded but JESUS H. CHRIST!!! I can't believe it!!! I'm still in shock!!!
On top of it all I get to go down there with my lil sis Krystel!!! Can we say mothafuckin' roadtrip!!!! We're prolly getting a U-haul and hopefully gonna take our sweet time gettin down there because that's a lot of miles to be split between two people driving...phwew!!!
So here's how the trip is going to go:
I'm gonna spend the rest of the week in New Hampshire packing things and tying up loose ends(hopefully I will be able to......transportation and willingness to "let go" or "keep truckin'/lovin'" dunno....).
Then I'm off to Plattsburgh to get some loose ends tied up there and to get my kitty and the rest of my shit from my step mom's place. I also can't wait to see my little brothers and sisters, mothers and father, and some friends.(whom I've missed dearly)
Then back to NH for a night to get spooky and my stuff from here. Plus I really want Krystel to meet everyone in my life over here(whom I love dearly). Not to mention, it's gorgeous here and I think she'd really like it.
Then time and budget allotted I'd like to find a place in Boston where we can all crash for a night or two so I can show her all the fun places I used to roam and my family/friends who still live there.:)
Talking about tying up loose ends, we've got to stop in Iowa to see the dying half of our family. I know that sounds insensitive but honestly, it's the truth. My mother is dying from diabetes, my aunt Dana has COPD and still smokes, my Aunt Mickey has lung cancer and is past due her "due date", my grandmother is crippled by parkinsons, diabetes, and mental illness, my other aunt Lynn had a traumatic brain injury and has no real short term memory because she was shot in the face some years back. so um yeah, I'm not close to any of them but I do want to pay my respects and see them one last time before EVERYONE dies.....
Anyhoot, then we're off to Oklahoma to claim what my grandmother of 78 yrs old has bestowed upon me. I know it sounds cheezy but seriously, my grandmother had 10 children and has like 40 grandchildren/great-granchildren and the fact that she picked me for this wonderful opportunity baffles and astounds me......i'm still so very shocked by the whole thing.....hooo---boy---!!! ::breathing into a paperbag::
