I know how everyone feels. All I could get were small odd jobs before my mom got sick. Now that that is over, I'm just applying for retail store jobs everywhere I can. Right now, the only position available are evening or overnight. I resolved before searching that I would only take jobs that...

The sun was out today. It helped make things look a little brighter. I applied to another store today. Well, a couple of them. It was the same store chain and I just had to select all the stores in the area I was interested in signing up for. Unfortunately, because I had already applied in the...

Just wanted to let everyone know I'm doing all right. Last week, the TV station my dad works for had Share-athon. He ended up staying late. By the time he got home, it was 12 or 1. But, he wanted to watch something to calm down as well as to spend time with us. So, we ended up staying up late...

February 4, 2014 Between last week and today, I started submitting job applications again. I’d like to assume that I never got a job so that I could be home to help take care of the household. Whether I’m over thinking this or this is exactly what God meant, I don’t know. I do know that...

February 02-03, 2014 Nothing much has happened. We took my Corolla to Goodyear to see why it wasn't working anymore. They discovered that the battery ran out because I left the dome light on. But, in all truthfulness, I was thinking of getting rid of it anyways. As much as I liked the bucket...

January 31, 2014 I took the time today to inflate a sofa/bed that we plan on having long term for guests as well as for our gaming room. It took me close to two hours using an air compressor because the only pump my dad could find had a car plug attached to it. But, it held air. So, that’s...

January 30, 2014 Today seemed to be going pretty well. I went by Gamestop to pick up an adapter for our Wii. I had to use my credit card because they required ID. We went by our local Outreach to drop off some donations and purchase some items for the memorial at a discount price. Then, we went...

January 29, 2014 This isn’t so much a blog post as it is a concern for my dad. I found out tonight that he’s taking anti-depressants. The doctor says that he can decide when he wants to stop taking them. The other thing he’s taking is a blood pressure medication because his blood pressure is...

January 28, 2014 Not too much happened today. In cleaning my room to make it a dressing room for family members coming down for the memorial, I found my good knife that I lost some 6-12 months ago. So, I’m happy about that. I did wire up our Wii to see if one of my ethernet-USB adapters would...

January 27, 2014 My dad has done a few more account tweaks. I am now the secondary insofar as a name on his bank account is concerned. He has, also, started the proceedings to cash the life insurance policy on mom. He says that there is one more hospital bill that needs to be paid. However...

January 26, 2014 I watched Ed Young today with my dad. I didn't think he'd be too interested in him. But, he asked me to live-stream him in the living room every time he was on. Afterwards, I took some time to reconfigure our surround receiver. The system was pretty much ready. It just needed...

Thanks for the tips. We, actually, took stock of the stuff we normally eat and realized that there are a lot of easy to make dinners (or parts that can be easily put together later) we enjoy eating. Like Stoffers, Hamburger Helper, Rice-a-Roni, Pasta-Roni, Fast Fixin, and a bunch of other...

January 25, 2014 Things sort of came to a head today. We were going to go grocery shopping and I tried everything I could to prepare a list the night before. However, when we got to the store, my dad sort of took over. Before, I was able to do all the grocery shopping. But, he just felt the...

January 24, 2014 To say that today went smoothly would depend on your point of view. My dad texted us to say that he was coming home early with a surprise. A lot of the women at his job got together to make some meals which should last us a long time. At the same time, he told us that one of...

January 23, 2014 Today was rather normal. I worked on a couple of YouTube videos to take my mind off of things. We did further arrangements for the memorial service. Mainly who will sleep where while the extended family is down here (of which I’m not even sure if my dad knows). We did buy at...

January 22, 2014 We went to the doctor today. We're TB free. My dad also considered us getting physicals. But, in reality, he's the only one who needs one to maintain the insurance. Plus, me and my sister are healthy enough that we shouldn't have to worry about it. We got rid of our king size...

January 21st The day was rather uneventful. Things got going when we went to Grief Share that is part of the church we used to go to. The best part is that they were meeting at our local Wycliffe center (someplace where my family is well known). So, whether or not it’s part of the church, they...

January 20th, 2014 Today went by more smoothly. The worst part was the allergens in the air. I messaged my dad the allergens in the air and he was like “No wonder.” So, obviously, he was suffering as well. My sister and I did some more clean-up. We made sure that we didn’t over exert ourselves...

January 19th I woke up this morning at 6:00 AM. The house was freezing cold. So, I quickly put on my lounge pants, socks, and a t-shirt just so I could get a good night’s sleep. I knew I would be doing two things today. I had a bill I was working on trying to get on auto pay. Actually, I've been...

January 18, 2014 My dad stayed overnight just to be with us. It wasn't until my sister was going to arrive around 10 this morning that my dad took off to make sure to see her there. I was still eating just to eat. It took me a while because I still feared the idea of cooking for my dad because...
