So I've had better days.
This morning, I thought I try giving my dad a call since I hadn't heard from him in about a week and a half and when I failed to reach him by cell phone for the 20th time, I thought I'd call my grandmother on my dad's side to see if everything is okay. When she answered, she seemed befuddled it was me calling and when I asked "Hey! Is everything okay? I've been trying to reach dad for about a week now." She simply went "You're not going to reach him."
Me, usually assuming the worst automatically thought he had died. Given my grandmothers sobbing, you can't blame me for assuming.
He's not dead. Yet. He's in jail. Again.
He overdosed on his medication and broke into one of the insurance firms behind his really nice house in the middle of the night. He was caught, obviously. Bail is set at $75,000. Looks like he's staying in there.
I'll be honest, I'm not upset by the fact that my father is in jail because it's frankly what I've come to expect from him. And not just him, but my mother as well. You would think a 40 year old woman and a 50 year old man would be able to maintain stability in their lives. So, I ended up sitting around the house crying because I'm so very very frustrated with my parents lack of influence in my life. I don't mean to push the psychological shit that my "parents let me down so I'll suffer." I just really wish I could be rid of them. They're dead weight and I feel nothing for them.
I think I was also upset just because I want to leave. I would leave right now if I could.
I'm feeling way too Holden Caufield-e today.
On a brighter note, I saw The Time Travelers Wife today in order to get my mind off things. I enjoyed it. I wish I had a time traveling husband.
I wish Lacuna were a real company. I'd be in there quicker than Kate Winslet.
My memory foam mattress also came in today. All the more reason to leave to put it on my bed at school!
Also, a big Horrible welcome to Ginger as our new contributor!

Lacunar amnesia shouldn't be too hard to accomplish, right?

Shiiiiiiit, well that's a big downer right before school starts. I would just think of it this way though, you don't have to pay for college because your parents are so messed up. :) Yay for free moneyyyy.
Call my later if you're still feeling down, ok? :)
Ginger
Thanks, Ginger :) That does seem to bring some perspective to the whole situation, haha.
