• Less Money, More Problems

  Lately, my family have been experiencing problems ever since we got back from Florida. The main problem that we have is my grandmother. My grandmother is the type of person who believes that everyone is out to get her, no one appreciates her, and no one listens to what she says. To be honest, I can kind of understand why she would feel that way. She claims that she's not an alcoholic, but you can tell that she is psychologically depended on cheap wine. She buys that kind of stuff all the time. She is rarely in a good mood, and when she is in a good mood...we're probably celebrating someone's birthday and she's probably had a little bit too much to drink. What she doesn't realize is that her attitude doesn't help bring family closer to her. She's made threats to my dad and I several times and she even went out on a leg to tell her husband that she wished she had her own camper so she could live alone.

  For a long time, I've wanted to justify her feelings. She's been working all her life, learned how to be a traditional mother, was a faithful wife, but when she told her own husband that she wished she lived alone...that lost a lot. And what's worse is that she blamed her feelings about her husband on us. She claims that I, specifically, don't do anything around the house. She expects me to water the plants, to build another story on the house, etc, on my own accord. However, whenever she asks me to do something around the house, or whatever, I don't hesitate. Now that I have an mp3 player, I can keep my mind occupied and do whatever she asks. The problem is that she hardly ever asks. She claims that she's going to kick my dad and I out of the house September 1st, but we will see how that goes.

  In other news, my car has been having problems ever since I got back from Texas and it turns out that the water pump is bad. I asked the mechanic, that personally knows my grandparents from church, if the water pump was responsible for the hesitation and lack of horsepower, and he said that it "can". So I'm not quite sure if the water is the problem. But he said that if I keep putting water in the jug, I should be able to drive it to and from school. That's really all I care about. Uh...that's about it.

  No...I bought my computer case and it will be coming in the mail sometime next week. Once I get the computer case, I'm going to assess what I need, and then start researching some components, and I should have my computer up in no time.
