Things to do, things done
Dec. 26th, 2024 02:18 pmSo, it's Boxing Day. I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas.
Today, I have a lot of work left to do.
Dad is in the hospital, so I have been doing things around the house, since I won't have to work until January 3rd.
I'm doing a lot of laundry, and plan on hitting up the bedding for everyone, save Son - since I just did his.
Menace put poop on my bed so my bedding is in the dryer. Sam's new sheets are in the dryer. Need to do Dad's bedding and get that going. Then, Sam's laundry out of his room, and then maybe that'll be done.
Dishes are going, and I've decided upon dinner. The fridge is cleaned out. I've gathered garbage to go out, done a grocery order that needs picked up, a Petco run needs to happen...
See; Sam's not getting outta bed. I'm ding all this stuff and Sam hasn't gotten out of bed yet today. as I write this it's 230pm. I normally don't care but we have Things To Do. And I understand his father is in the hospital and it's dire (Life threatening? We don't know yet.) but the household needs certain things done too. And while I'm willing to pick up some of the slack there are things he needs to do too. Like gather his laundry, clean his cats pan, and go pick up the groceries.
But he's in bed still, not moving.
I need help, and I'm not getting it. I don't know where to ask. I'm really ready to move out, and would but I can't afford it without a full time job. Not even with the job I have.
I need something full time, with benefits, and then... then, maybe I can do things more for Son and I. I'm so tired of everything depending on me, and not having a true say in how things are done. I know I don't cook that often, but we have more food than we need (despite needing a grocery order of mostly nonfood items) and none of it is stuff I really like, it's mostly for Sam, Dad and Son.
I need a car, and have the money put back for one! But we can't park it here, or I would get it.
Sam doesn't work full time but I do need his income to pay rent. Sadly.
Sigh. It's a mess and I'm not sure what to do.
Now, back to work.
