Sam's Dad, and tomorrow
Firstly, I turn 47 tomorrow. I'm not ready for that.
Secondly.... I'm pissy tonight.
See; Sam's Dad is legally blind. He cannot see because of his cataracts. Fine. We take care of him, he does okay. But he conveniently "forgets" this, when it comes to his car. Like, I could save him over $500/month just on his car! But, no, he must have his car and his marijuana. Fine, not my money.
(This is all relevant, I swear)
So; tomorrow, my son has Speech Therapy. Sam, unfortunately, cannot take us, because he has to be at work by 630am, to take his client to an appointment at 745. So! Not a big deal, Son and I can walk to the bus, and catch it to go. It's two buses to get there and get home, but MEH. Whatever.
Sam's dad wants to drive us to speech. But he won't let me drive his car.
How about no?
I would gladly let him go, if he would let me drive, but "women can't drive" so.... Then this convo happened between Dad and Sam:
Dad: "It's dangerous!"
Sam: "Maybe in the 70s"
Dad: "But it's the bus! There's homeless people!"
Sam: "And Cat knows how to handle it."
... Then he suggested that if I didn't carry a weapon, I wasn't protecting my son. That's when I noped out. I'm so tired of everytime I ride the bus, this comes up. He also claims it's "Expensive". It will cost me $3, to get me and Son there, and then $3 to get back, so a total of $6? That's it. I'd spend more in gas.
I'm so done. So so done. I think I am gonna get a car with the inheritance money. I need a car for me.
