OK, this is for yesterday, but I didn't have time to get on here much so...
Happy: Saew & I went to donate plasma yesterday... this was my first time and I was terrified (horrified of needles). Well, I go through my process and finally I am sitting in the chair in the back, they already have my IV in and I'm chillin... when the nurse who had given Saew his physical comes up to me, with the guy who'd done my IV (to show her who I was) and she gets that look people get when they see a puppy or baby (the "Oh, how sweet" look) and says "Your husband wanted to come out here and check up on you to see if you were ok. I told him it was pretty busy, but I'd see for him. He said it was your first time at something like that and he's just really worried for you." Then she smiles and practically coos "And he's just so sweet! You are so lucky!" I grinned and said "I know I am! But yeah, I'm fine"... while this was going on, every female technician there had stopped what she was doing and had turned and was listening to all this. The rest of the time I was there, whenever one of the girls would come to check my machine, I'd get "That was so sweet! You are so lucky!!" (And after they brought him in and got him set up, I got told several times "Is that him in the blue down there? He's so cute too! Cute AND sweet... You are SO lucky!!"). biggrin The girl who was finishing me up asked how long we've been together and I told her "Married 2 years in August, together about 4 total".... and she was shocked that we're "still like that after that long!!"
So... Happy: I'm lucky! 3nodding
Sad: rather than write it all again, read the "random weight loss" thread... I discuss it in there neutral (it also has to do with the donation place... but this happened before my happy time, so all that above more than made up for it, I think!)

Happy: I went and got a new car. And although I've had a car before, it was bought outright, used. This is a new one that is mine! I'm actually excited to have car payments! For today at least. The first bill date, the joy ends.
Sad: I need a cell phone cause even though I've been driving without one, the day my old car died, I was lucky to have a passenger with one. But my mom won't add me to her plan, so for now, I'm SOL. Onward to a prepaid phone, I suppose. Yay for Wal-Mart!

That's great. biggrin My cousin, who I am moving in with in a month, wants me to donate plasma with her, but I am scared too because I had to get a shot once a week, every week, for over 7 years. Would have been the rest of my life, but I told my doctors to go shove it. Anyways, I can handle the needles of getting a tattoo, but having blood drawn or anything like that freaks me out now.
Happy - I went through my first yearly evaluation, yesterday, with my Nana. We were hoping for her hours to go up, because I am over there all the time anyways, and an increase in hours means an increase in my pay. At the time, David (My boss), said her hours had gone down to 140, and I was devastated, but when he got back to the office he called and said they'd actually gone up to 180, which means I get, at the very least, an extra $330 a month. So that makes me /really/ happy, because I need the money.
Sad - My mom is trying to tell me that she never agreed to let me have my checks (hugelong story, ask me if you really want to know), and she is trying to say I haven't been working, when I really have.

Glad to hear your hours & pay are going up... but how can your mom keep your money? Shouldn't your checks be coming in your name? Which means you'd be the only one who could cash them? *scratches head* Either way, I'm sorry to hear you're having a bad time with that... and it sounds like it will probably be the best thing in the world for you to get yourself out of that situation. *hugs*

Yes the check's come in my name, but I haven't actually been working as much as I'm supposed to. We split the hours. So when the check comes, I cash it and we split the money. Only lately, I've been working just as much as she has, and she only gives me $100. I'm a patient person, though, and I know we have a lot of bills. So the money goes towards bills.
Neither of my parents have jobs (well my dad sort of has one, now, finally). They rely on my check to pay the rent and all the bills.
And, I'm assuming, they use the rest of MY money to buy their drugs.
But I'm a patient person. I never needed the money, before now, and they are my parents. Of course I'm going to help them.
Except now I see they're doing nothing but walking all over me and being lazy assholes.
I'm very torn in the situation. My brother has asked me to move in with him and his wife, because he knows how far my parents will go.
But they are my parents, and I can't bring myself to stand up to them so much.

Sweetie, there's a huge difference between being patient/helping family and being a doormat. There comes a time when, no matter how hard it is or how much you may not want to, you really do have to stand up for yourself, say "Enough is enough" and take what is yours. You deserve better than that! Also, (I really hope I don't piss you off with this, that is not at all my intention, but I have to say it) what kind of parents expect their child to support them?!?! That just is NOT right, not by any stretch of the imagination!! I mean, if they were well beyond working years or unable to care for themselves, then certainly... but from the sounds of it, this is not the case and they are just being lazy bums who are living off their own daughter. Um... how many ways can I say this?.... No, nope, nuh uh, no way, not happening, nein, nyet, nr, non.... absolutely not!
I can understand not wanting to have to confront your own parents about something like this... it would be not only difficult, but painful to do. But eventually you either have to get the "Welcome" tattoo removed from your forehead and do so, or you are going to end up spending the rest of your life doing exactly what you are doing now... and you truly are worth so much more than that. Don't waste yourself, hun. smile
