My local coffee shop has a ton of sugar-free flavors! I'm exceptionally well caffeinated today for the first time in ages! Holy crap! I forgot how good espresso level caffeine is! EEEeeeeEEEEeeeeEEEeeeEEEeee!:aaah:

I've been there after a week or so of abstention. It's so uplifting. You hear angels and everything.

Had to take Cranky to the hospital for a kidney stone.
By accident, this meant I was out of my driveway before the city closed down my entire street for some recreational thing, so while I was still late to work because hospital, at least I could still go.

So, some people may have seen @ThatNickGuy post about me being kicked out of the house and have immediately thought "That really fucking sucks".
And yes it does suck.
BUT
I'm turning this into a positive situation. As much as I'm scared of this and as much as I want to break down and freak out at my father, I'm not going to. It's counterproductive and useless.
I do also count this as a minor victory because even thought I'm being kicked out, me and my son can start a new life and that's something I look forward to :)

I had lunch with my ex this weekend, first time I saw her since we broke up and it actually went well. I've gotten to the point where I'm more upset about my current lack of direction in life rather than losing out on my relationship with her. We were friends for a good while before we dated and talking like that was surprisingly natural. There were a few awkward moments but overall I think we'll be able to stay friends, which is nice because pretty much all of my friends in town are mutual with her so being able to be civil will make life a lot awkward for everyone.

That's a fantastic way to look at what must be a super difficult time.

How are you both doing today?

I've been getting stuff together and whatnot to apply for income assistance only to find out that my dad has changed his mind under the conditions that we all sign a contract.
Now I'm not happy about this. He went through all this production yet again, of kicking me out of the house. I honestly don't believe that I'm going to be guaranteed that I can stay here without the threat of being kicked out.
No matter what my parents say.
This is bullshit.

Yesterday my parents threw an end of summer barbecue for all the family in state. It was a lot of fun. As I was getting ready to leave my mom hand's me an old BB&T Bank Booklet. Apparently they had setup a savings account for each of us children and promptly forgot about them until recently. It's at least 16 years old and the last recorded statement showed a balance of ~$1600 plus a $20 bill with my name written on it inside the booklet. So now I'm on a mission to find out what happened to the account and money inside. Worst case scenario the account was closed with money forfeited to the state (apparently NC can do that) & I have a story and $20. Best case scenario there's an account sitting out there that's been collecting interest at 1999's rates.

What sort of a contract?? That's kind of concerning.

Move back in if it's easier for now, but keep applying for assistance and do what you can to get a place of your own.

That contract does not sound all that binding... or purposeful. But it's an option.

If it were me, I'd give them the finger and never go back, but it may be easier to accept for now, until such an opportunity where you can gain independence and then give them the finger.

If all your stuff is still at the house, it might be advantageous to go along with this for now, but be looking as hard as you can for somewhere you can go, and move out ASAP.

Knowing what I do about her father, I get the feeling the "contract" benefits him most of all and likely absolves him of pitching in around the house, himself.
