the concrete turkey Well, looks as though my Thanksgiving plans have finally been cemented into place; I had been invited to spend Thanksgiving with my "best friend" last week, but got the call this morning to confirm everything. Of course he said to only bring myself (actually he said there was already going to be SO much food, any more would be overkill), but I figure I'll at least find some Hawaiian rolls (and I'll probably bring some beer along). First Thanksgiving not involving family in any shape or form in over 15 years for me ...this is NOT a traumatic thing at all. Holidays are kind of a mixed bag of nuts for me; I was single until I was 31 and never did the " thing" at all, so holidays just never held a big place in my life. During my eight year foray into relationship-land, I guess it took at least a somewhat larger place in my life ...but even then I mostly just left it to the SO. The last few years, my life has revolved a lot more around my family but in a lot of ways it's turned me off of holidays even more. If you can celebrate a holiday as a secular time, it's a lot easier than being the sole atheist in a room full of fundamentalist evangelical Christians ...but I've been stuck with the latter for the last few years, so I won't exactly be missing "the old days" by any stretch. The other bit of news my buddy gave me is that he may have a line on a Condo for me. I know exactly where I want to move ...there just haven't been any units available. The two moves before moving in with Mom were pretty bad; the first place people stole everything that wasn't nailed down, the second had untrustworthy management. Finding a place with a low crime rate and affordable bills is kind of a big deal for me ...owning a place and only having a HOA to deal with is even better. Finding the place I WANT and can AFFORD is a big deal to me ...the biggest thing at this point is that there is no fucking way I am going to put myself through moving twice. There is absolutely nothing that would make me happier than getting out of this house sooner rather than later. My sister's has been dropping hints about as subtle as a cinder block from a third floor window, and I'd be absolutely ecstatic to not have to listen to her anymore. Funny story ...she asked me point blank if I felt like she was trying to rush me out of the house, and I told her yes ...that was exactly the impression she was giving me. When she asked what she had done to give me that impression, I only gave a single example (although I could write a list of not so subtle hints) ...I told her that bringing the realtor over barely two weeks after Mom's death was the first major clue; especially given that when she asked, I wasn't thrilled about it ...and then she did it anyway. AuntiE even remarked that her behavior was "beyond shameful." The trick now is to try to spur my next older brother into hurrying up with his insurance stuff so I will actually have the money it would take to BUY said condo. He's dragging his feet and his work is kicking his butt. Keep your fingers crossed for me on this ...it would be great if things would finally start coming together on the "home" front. So far the "task a day" strategy has been going great! If the lead looks promising, then I'll need to ramp my efforts up even more, but one day at a time. I'm off for the next task, and there may indeed be a Minotaur to slay somewhere down the line here. |
