I've been pretty flaky on familial communication all my life, and basically just did a hurried synopsis of what's been going on in response to a letter my grandmother had sent me, thinking that she definitely deserves to know what's going on with her grandson. I figured I also haven't really given any details on here for a while, and it's a shame to have a journal and not use it, especially considering how easily I forget things that have happened to me. Sooo... yeah. Here:
----------
Alrighty, well here's the full skinny of what's been going down as of late.
I've been paying almost the entire sum of bills and rent for near-on seven months now. [Roomate] has pitched in from time to time, but due to other circumstances (his father's hospital bills, child support, and car payments) he's been unable to meet the full extent of his share every month since he's moved in. At first, while I was working at Creative Playthings, it was not at all difficult to contribute until he could get back on his feet. Get back on his feet, he has not. So, I find myself at something of an impasse. I can't afford to keep paying for this place, especially considering that I more often than not have to take money given to me as a gift (thank you very much), which I would very much like to open a savings account with, and put it towards rent instead, still falling quite short of my goals.
Between rent, utilities, and phone, I pay approximately $1,300 a month. I make at current, on average, approximately $650-$700 a month. I don't want to make [Roommate] homeless, especially considering it would additionally mean having to find another person to take over the lease, which would be incredibly difficult at this point in time. So.. I keep racking my brain. I've taken on more shifts at work. I've eliminated almost all extranneous and unnecessary expenditures (save for one).
Yes, indeed, I am currently living in the same apartment and I did receive the pillow (thank you again). I apologize that communication has been sparse, but I'm going something akin to crazy over here, and trying to kep myself in line, which is very tough because I'm prone to either give up, cut and run, or not show up at all when times are hard.
I love you. Thank you for your kind wishes and no worries on the whole discombobulated thing. I'm that particular adjective quite often.
