What are you thinking RIGHT NOW?

I just remembered I have to PM everyone regarding the Trick or Treat. Okay, so I need to make a list of everything I gotta get done tonight. I've been working non-stop when it comes to emptying my room. So hopefully once that's done I can do all the other stuff that needs doing.

One of the places that filed a claim is the funeral home who did my grandfather's funeral. Their bill is about $9K and that's only one of the things we'd have to pay off completely in order to even get this place in our name and not my grandfather's. I don't know how much the other claim is, but I do know once those are paid and the house is in our name, we'd still owe about $100K on it, and it's falling apart and has the mice... Meanwhile, it would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $4500 for a down payment on the house down the road and another car, and that place doesn't have mice... So yeah, my mom and siblings and I are convinced we have to somehow get that house.

Since the claims were filed against my late grandfather's estate and not us personally, the worst they can do (if I understand right) is take his stuff from us—meaning this house. So if we go to a different house, we just have whatever debt was already ours, and the other house costs only $40K, not over $100K. We just have to convince my dad now that fighting for his childhood home is only going to cost us and convince someone to give us a loan to buy the place with...

Yay.

That us rough, Carl. Sorry you get to add that to your already present list of problems. I hope something can be worked out that isn't totally sucky.

[Carl]

Yeah, I hope so too. We'll see when my dad's home again, I guess.

Maybe I should just stay up all night tonight, try to get into the swing of being up in the daytime.

[FireAndSun]

I frequently stay up all night. I feel like a zombie the next day.

[Carl]

I often feel like a zombie, regardless.

[FireAndSun]

As do I. But staying up all night makes it worse.

[Carl]

So does getting up at 5:35 am.

[FireAndSun]

Also true. I used to have to get up at 6 AM daily, so I'm familiar with the morning zombieness. It's a miracle I never fell asleep in class.

[Carl]

Until college I could sleep as little as I wanted and just be fine.

I know I'm way under leveled, but I kinda wanna just go fight Red already.

Hope you get something sorted Carl

My little one has a nasty cold and here I am going to work for the day I hate being a working mum sometimes. Just want to stay home and help her feel better.
