Peace and Quiet
My home is back to just me and My Girls. My nephew and his Girlfriend moved out last night. With the help of my Brother and me nagging at them to follow through they moved into a studio apartment about 10 minutes away from us. Angel obtained employment through a telemarketing company that is nationally known (I worked for them just prior to my last employment).
I really think they were becoming quite used to being on "vacation" with no real responsibilities, running up my utility bills and eating all of our food. No matter how much I harped, I was ignored. At one point Joey and I had a HUGE argument over him disrespecting me and my home. Kristi fortunately slept through it and didn't hear him call me a wh***. I told her about it later; Angel and Joey didn't think I heard what he said. I'm not brain dead - he's lucky I didn't back-track down the steps and smack him one. He did apologize the next day. Not sure if I will receive any money from him for the added cost of them being here.
I'm just thankful they're out before the 1-28 deadline. Their last day here was yesterday (1-26) and also the day I quit smoking cold turkey. Because I had quit, I washed and put away the ashtray and wouldn't let them smoke in the house even with the ionizer in the kitchen. I'm not sure how long it will last - I really really enjoy smoking. I was to get the patch but my doc said no with the upcoming heart cath to be done. It's now been over 24 hours since I've lit up and, at times, it's very tough. With all the stress of the past 12 days, I was smoking more than I normally did.
This might not be the best time to be doing this with the week I have ahead of me. If I get too frazzled, I made need to have someone get me some. I have not spoken to my Brother-Dearest since he had me tell them about the apartment. I'm sure he's stressed with all of this. He was very upset with Joey for coming here in the first place. Joe was out of town when Joey descended upon us.
We've done our good deed and helped them regroup - I wish for them the best but will be sure next time to say "no can do" if they re-appear at my door.
