Rent/Rant

I don't know if it is this place or me but I was fully awake this morning and not extremely tired (I also slept from 10pm until 7am) and now I am falling asleep, not even an hour into my work day. I really hate this.

In other news of things I hate, there is a strong possibility I will not be living with my dad and his family for much longer. And there is also possibility for a shouting match tonight...
As I was leaving the house this morning I noticed a couple letters on the kitchen table. Now I don't usually go through the stuff of others but I saw my brother's name on one of them so I looked to see what it was about. Turns out there are 2 letters, one for Brother and one for me. These letters happen to be statements agreeing on rent. They want me to sign a legal document that states I agree to pay rent on the 1st of each month.

Now you all think "Why is she so upset? This doesn't make sense." Ah those who think that are very wrong. This is huge. Not only have we just verbally agreed on rent, but I have made a deal with my father to pay it to him when it is convenient for me, so long as I get it in by the end of the month. And this whole signing legally business is pretty insulting to me. I am not some random tenant who is going to skip out on rent if I am not bound legally; I am his daughter.

Enter yelling match.

I am not going to take his bullshit tonight. I am going to raise my concerns about this and I will make it known that not only do I dislike paying rent and I do not have my own space at all, but I also dislike the idea of signing my life away to my father. I will make a big deal about this because it is a big deal. I will also be looking for a job on the weekends and saving up for first and last someplace else. I do not enjoy living there and I really do not want to put up with the bullshit anymore.

I found a one bedroom basement for 550$. I am going to figure out how to make it work.

I think that getting your own place is going to be so amazing for you and you're going to be so much happier.

I sense a house warming:)
