DL's Spilled Thoughts!
Hiatus Update (Warning: Long)
___
Continuation from PREVIOUS ENTRY!

Hello everyone. I figured since I got a little bit of free time to use this (more then 5 minutes) I'll take the chance to post an update for those who are curious or just care to know.

Where to begin. I guess a good start would be, I want to say thank you very much to all of you who were so kind and caring to read my entry, comment upon it and-or posting at my shop thread as well. I know it might not seem like much to some of you but to me it really means a lot, more so because of my situation. At times I feel as if I'm alone and have no one but then when I can read and think of those of you here, I feel better and thus keep sane. I refuse to become a damn depressant. (Oh take note I also refer to people on menewhsa as well not just those here since I have some on mene who post their thoughts there rather then here)

Well when I posted the other in notice of the fact I will be absent I just said what would likely be, I wasn't sure what would come to pass so this one will share what my current situation is and what I've been doing as well as some info on what we are hoping to do. (I stopped long ago saying what is fact unless its of my own control - my faith isn't as high as it once was)

Okay, I've been living with my grandparents for the majority of the time. I hate it, I really do. And some reasons for this is the fact I can't do much. Literally. They are so picky on how long the tv is on and if you are doing something else (like drawing) the tv needs to be off, can't use the computer much which is why I've not bothered to really come here sooner to post. I just use to check and reply to email. Also their county has a short supply on water so everyone in the area has a certain amount need not go over soo this stops me from taking my usual everyday shower. >.< I have to like every 3 or 4 days. It sucks. Thankfully I don't go out to get sweaty / dirty but still I feel rank. -__- When I first got there, I would go swimming everyday for about 30 mins to an hour just to get out of the house as they will nag if you just sit around all day. (uh what else is there to do when I can't work right now? No car to look for one as my dad needs it plus not enough $ for gas right now etc) soo nothing else to do as I'm not a fan of walking or riding the bike but I do need to start working out again. (beside the point) Well... then one night s**t went wrong and I spranged my ankle. (this story not matter) Now I can't walk at all. I have to stay off as much as I can so it will heal. This happened 2 weeks ago so its better but still not fully healed. They nag a lot making it uncomfortable as ******** to be there and can't be up late for they go to bed EARLY and its hard to sleep or even be comfortable because they keep their place hot as ********. 80 degrees but when you're used to an area thats 70 - 75 thats hot. I sit and do nothing and still sweat. DX Soo sleep is never good. And yeah I can go on and on but this is the basic jist of it.

Well, lately in learning some friends are now living here as well, ones used to work with while in GA still. (they are more my dads' friends then mine but I get along ok) Since they are good friends and not care they let us come stay with them for a bit which is where I am now. One guy has a laptop soo thats why I can be on this and he doesn't care what I do or for how long. THUS FREEDOM to be here. (grandparents get picky if on a long time and well I just hate his computer, I feel paranoid etc so I just stay on short time, literally 10-20 mins at most) The friend doesn't give a damn so I use it mostly when he is at work and-or sleeping. He at work now so this is why I'm here. <333

Any idea how hard it is to use a touch pad when so used to a damn mouse? Its not easy. DX I hate it to be honest. Its a bit too sensitive. Here I don't sleep better either and this is because not only of my sore ankle making it hard to lay but I have a crappy cold. I sneeze a LOT and have to blow my nose, literally every 5 ******** minutes so my nose hurts. I need some medicine. @__@ But its COOL here. <3 He keeps it around 75. XDDD Sometimes it feels colder though. And here I can do what I want, shower when I want and don't have to worry about someone starting to nag on me for the dumbest of things. (if you have a grandma who doesn't seem to grasp how life works or doesn't really know you then I'm sure you can understand) Don't get me wrong, I love my grandparents. They are family - the only blood family I have aside from my dad but still, they are not one I want or can live with it. All goes fine when I'm able to just VISIT. But I have to deal for now. *sigh*

Okay now enough of that, one more thing to share and thats what we "plan" (aka hope) to do. We hope to have a place to move into on the first. It won't be just my dad and I because with both of us not working right now we can't afford deposit and first month rent in one go soo we are going to be moving with the friends (where am now) in a larger place and be roommates. (getting a 5-bedroom place) Soo once this happens I'll have my OWN room again AND be able to have my OWN computer and thus be around again. The hiatus might kinda still be active (as in I won't be around all the time) for I intend to start working as soon as my ankle will allow. But still once all starts going as want there will be no more hiatus and just normal hours of one everyday when I can either not working or not tired.

Do I mind having roommates? Nah, it will help save money by having to pay less for rent and utilites and thus save more in getting my own car and such. Once all this is taken care of my dad and I will get our own place again. I can't afford to live on my own yet and my dad still needs help with things because of his ex-wife ******** up his credit. *long story*

Andd sooo sorry for the length but eh just easier to explain as much as I can this way and I am sure at least -one- of you will actually read it all. XD I know I didn't reply to the comments directly for other journal but I don't really see a need since ell I said it here with my thanks. But for this one again, welcome to comment if ya want AND if ya do have a question, welcome to ask and that I'll be sure to reply to once I have time / chance to do so. ^____^

Note about my asking for help on sealed letters; I don't need any september ones. But it would be awesome if i could get help for next month. (I'd like to try to get 5 - 8 my usual count) If you already got some extra september for me then I do so apologize and hope that you can just use for yourself and not be mad at me. ^^;; But I'm sure that won't be since Sept items I think can be liked by everyone. XDD

THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE FOR THE SUPPORT, TAKING TIME TO SHARE IT WITH ME IN HELPING ME THROUGH THIS AND FOR ALSO HELPING BY POSTING AT MY THREAD. IT REALLY DOES MEAN SOO MUCH TO ME.

Note to self, write down names of all those who did/do post during my absence as I will try to give / make something for these folks. (i'd say a minimum post will be required though xD) Start at page 1657.

I miss you guys. I hope ya have fun and take care but please don't forget me for hwne I do come back and when I can (on my own computer) I'll do my best to start visiting again and showing return support at your thread. <33

But note, I may still come around again once in awhile when using friends laptop or what not but lately, its just easier to go on menewsha so if ya go there also, look me up. ^^ Or PM. XD

Ohmigosh, so much to read rofl I TOTALLY know what you mean about strict grandparents gonk You can't breath without permission around my grandmother; we've (brother and I) never actually gone to visit her because "we make too much noise." She comes to visit us, but doesn't spend much time with use. She's mean and always said mean things about my dad... but she is my only living grandparent...

Anyways, sorry to hear about you being sick and hurting your ankle; sounds like to did something really bad to it, sure it's only sprained?

I think the roommate idea is wonderful! Definitely a great opportunity for you two to save money and the fact that the roomies are friends is even better (it's a bit awkward living with someone you didn't know before they moved in).

As always, I wish you the best of luck and keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Things will get better, they always do! *hugs*

EDIT: *ish totally late reading and commenting on this one* redface
