Was going to write on a particular subject, but that can wait..this can't
I think that this is the first time that I had the guts to argue not only with my mom over something I believe,but my dad as well. Long story short....
Grandpa gave me his mandolin before he died. He told me never to sell it, and to learn how to play since I have his inherited ear for music. And I am doing so. But, the mandolin is worth a pretty penny, and my mom's side of the family is catching on. Uncle Mike has my grandpa's will and looked over it and realized that the mandolin was left for Uncle Chris. He can't claim it because Grandpa physically gave it to me before he died, and there were witnesses. But, Uncle Mike looked into the model, year, etc and realized its worth a pretty penny. Now, he has told everyone else in the family, and they are all panicking that I have it and that I should have it insured, sold, so that they can divide up the money among the four of them, etc. I don't think so. But every day now I get calls from my mom daily stating what they are saying, and am always being harassed about it. And things are also getting interesting because apparently the family that my grandpa bought the mandolin from (Syracuse region's wealthiest family) have been trying to hunt it down because they realized that it is of great monetary value. So I had an intense debate with my parents earlier to the point of tears from frustration...and then took a good long power walk to burn it off. Knowing that the drama will still be there when I get home for Christmas, I have a feeling that I will be back here in Fredonia sooner just for my own health and sanity. IT SHOULD BE SIMPLE. GRANDPA GAVE ME THE MANDOLIN. HE WANTS ME TO PLAY IT. THEREFORE, IT IS MINE, AND I SHALL PLAY IT...NOT KEEP IT LOCKED UP IN A stupid (being nice here) government vault.
And.....
The person I have a crush on can no longer amount to anything since he is now in a relationship. I had a hunch this past month this will happen. Now, I just need to find someone who is meant to me (and try to ignore the constant nagging and joking frommy family who tells me that I will never get married at the rate I;m going)
Here's hoping that something happy will come my way...
