He called me, he's been there 2 days already. I told him he did the right thing (he's bipolar and has been getting worse and worse over the years). He wanted me to bring him some cigarettes, but I have a quarter of a tank of gas and two dollars to last me until Friday, so I had to say no. He asked me to call Mom and ask her to bring him some, as well as some long sleeve shirts because he's always cold there, and some quarters so he can call people. I feel bad that I can't help him out. Especially since Mom probably won't bring him smokes, and as an ex-smoker I feel for him.
My brother talked to our cousin, who is a total moocher, and he's supposed to bring him some cigs, as well as drive our mom over. But he's just so unreliable. Its really the least he can do, he borrowed money from my mom and never paid her back and has been living with my brother rent free for months. I hope he follows through.
I just spoke to my mom and she told me she went to my brother's apt and was cleaning it all day. I was like, oh great. She is so controlling and used to drive me crazy doing stuff like that. But she said it was 'awful' and 'he'd feel better if it was clean when he came back'. I just refrained from commenting, I couldn't change her mind anyway.
On top of all that I slipped and fell at the pool today, and although I'm alright, I have a bruise as big as my hand on my back and just feel sore all over.
And of course I had one glass of wine left, which I already drank. So I'm just like a big crazy ball of conflicting emotions right now. I'm going to lay down and rest and watch Finding Nemo (my favorite movie to watch when I'm upset), but I'll check back in later. Thanks for listening to me rant, I'm tired and don't know if this completely made sense.
