Life Update
Apr. 11th, 2008 11:16 amWell, right now is less with the emotional upheaval and more with the ...interesting happenings.
Happening 1: One of my mom's clients from Nigeria is coming to stay with us. His name is Babatunde. This isn't really a problem it's just potentially weird. We don't really know much about him except he's on a two-month Visa to the US, he's Nigerian, and he's written (I think) two religion-oriented books. Mom has only communicated with him via e-mail, and he seems like a very nice man. He apparently lives alone, has no wife or children, so we're not sure how he's going to take being deposited in the middle of a semi-functional family.
However, his insipient arrival has prompted mom and Liberty to clean shit out. Of the guest room, mostly, because that's our default storage space (besides the miles-away storage space we rent by the month). But now we have to have the room liveable again (it gets cleared out and then junked all to hell again every time). So they did that last night while I went over to watch Due South with Erin. I refuse to feel bad as it was all their stuff. Mostly my sister's, actually. *superior* My stuff is all in my own damn room.
So, this is going to be interesting. I'm sure this is going to expose us as the spoiled American consumers we are. I really hope this won't be a problem, but it is definitely different.
Happening 2: Daddy might be getting a defibrilator implanted. Apparently the doctors have been on him since his heart attack two years ago to get one implanted, and he's finally listening after the blowup we had two weeks ago where he had to pop a nitro. That was a sucky night.... So, dad might be going under the knife again. Likely when Babatunde is here. So, more weird.
And I don't even want to think about it because I"m not sure I've dealt with daddy's heart attack in any real way yet...
Possible Happening 3: My getting a second job. I hope, at least. If I can find a second job, and Erin can find a second job, I can move in with her when her roommate leaves when their lease is up. I think this would be awesome and fun. Pain in the ass to move, of course, but that's always true. Then my sister could move into the big room.
...Right. Okay, that's it.
