Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

My sister just texted me that things were "heavy" and she might end up cosigning a $20000 loan to pay off the girl's debts. We talked about this last night and agreed it was a very bad idea, for many reasons. Jesus, last night the girl was screeching that she never asked for any help. Now she's doubling down on getting $20000? Family or not, I think I'm about to be done. Guilting your already-generous mom into risking her credit by cosigning an enormous loan, because you don't want to get a job and pay off your own debts? Appalling.

To make it worse, we couldn't find the key to the van (probably left in sister's other car) so my sister took my car today, leaving me stuck at home and my little car in the hands of people screaming ragefully as they drive. Somehow the losing of the van key is probably my fault.

I just tried calling the ENT office directly. The receptionist said that they have no appointments, but that I should call my primary care doctor and get her to call the ENT and say that it's urgent, and then they might be able to get me in earlier.

That girl is not going to pay that back. I hope your sister doesn't get involved, but she should be clear that she is borrowing $20k.

Well, she cosigned the loan. And now she's spinning it to make it okay.

I'm buying us drinks and dinner. And drinks.

Apparently the girl does have a workable business plan, and if she actually does the work and if the people who owe her pay her, the business will be in the black reasonably soon. (I know. I also smell a lotta if coming off this plan.)

They did cancel all but one credit card, which is good.

Maybe it'll work out. I just wish we could get to the thoughtful sharing of plans without the nuclear meltdown first.

Thrive to spite them

Today with Mom was mostly good. I went to therapy and it was okay except towards the end. I finally figured out I felt defensive and judged. I don't think that was my therapist's intention but that's how I felt. I'm going to write down some stuff to talk to her about next week.

Damn it. I'm nearly out of Sudafed. I've got enough to last through the night, but I'll have to go buy more tomorrow. Last time I tried to buy it, the ID-checking system was down, and it wouldn't let me get any.
