We were asked to hand deliver her paycheck since she can’t get to the warehouse to pick it up. She needs the money and it wasn’t out of the way, so we drove by her apartment to leave it with her. I’m surprised she didn’t ask for a ride to the bank. We could see through the open door that the worthless POS boyfriend was sitting on the couch in front of the TV. Guess without her car he can’t get back and forth to work, either. You would think that having worked there for about a year he wold have made friends with one or two of the guys so he could call and ask for a ride for a few days and he could offer to kick in a few bucks for their gas. But no – I can see that he feels entitled to sit at home all day since she is.
Bad time of year to not be working. Who is going to pay the rent due next week? Is our grandson going to have a new costume to go out trick or treating? He’s in the first grade and this is the best time of their lives for holidays like Halloween and Christmas.
Every car that we’ve let her have or drive she has trashed or wrecked. We finally took the Taurus back when she had her ass attack back in May. If she’s going to be an ass then she doesn’t get the free use of the car. So she went without for a few months and somehow talked a used car lot dealer into letting her buy a used Jeep Cherokee off the “buy here – pay here” lot. It was easy to figure out which one was hers. The one at the depot parking lot with the temporary tags that expired 6 weeks ago.
So this morning I get a wake up call from hubby that he’s at the emergency room with her. She wrecked the Jeep and had to be taken to the hospital by ambulance. While reading some papers she drifted off the road and hit a brick mailbox. The car had to be towed off. The police found out that she didn’t have insurance and the tags are dead. I wish they would have taken her jail, but they sent her to the hospital for x-rays. Who is going to pay for all that?
She’s not hurt worse than whiplash. The car is totaled. Now neither she nor the boyfriend has a way to get to work. Lovely.
And now the grandson rides the bus to school and back.
She was going to get a one bedroom apartment because it was cheaper and she didn’t care if he had to sleep on the couch. After all, he’s little and he usually falls asleep on the couch every night watching TV anyways.
I told her that was not a good idea – that he needs his own room so he can have someplace to go and have some privacy. Even little kids deserve some privacy, and so does she for when she wants to have some adult time without him sitting on the couch. So she did at least get a two bedroom apartment and he does have his own little bed in there, with the toy chest that we bought for him and the little kid table and chairs that we bought for him and the nightstand that we bought for him.
