Water under the bridge

A few hours ago, I finished posting to Facebook of our trip to Tampa for Monday Night Football. I got some of what I consider good ones of him since he never really lets me take pictures of him.

His younger sister, my best friend from high school has commented on one or two of them so far, and I'm contemplating on removing the comments. With their family, I'm still adjusting, sometimes an insult can be a term of endearment. Early in our relationship, he would occasionally say he hated me though he really didn't. I expressed my distaste with the phrase, mostly with the tone in which it was said but any way he knows my feelings on it and doesn't use the phrase much if at all with me anymore. Back to his sister. She commented on one that he was "an ugly bastard". The second picture she commented on him being "an ugly piece of poop".

I'm probably blowing this out of the water because I know she most likely doesn't mean what she says and loves him very much.

Gah it's just frustrating and a little hurtful at the same time.

Soon to be employed?

I just finished brushing up two different cover letters for two different Publixes. One is for the store Sam recommended because he used to work with the guy who manages it and the other is for a store a little closer to his house. I'm hoping with that I'll be able to move in with him. So we'll see. I'm hoping I'll make enough, short drive will help now, to be able to contribute $400 a month to stay in the house.

On a different note, my aunt and mom were talking today about getting someone to stay with my Grandpa I think mostly at night at either his assisted living center or the house. He has Alzheimer's/Dementia and is quickly getting worse. My mom and aunt are looking to "recruit" me once my stint at the stadium ends here on Tuesday. They're talking about paying me $10 an hour. A perk is that I won't have taxes coming out of that. Plus, they know me and I think that was one of their larger issues, getting someone who was aware of his situation. So I don't think I really have a choice in that matter.

Another option, though wouldn't be high paying but still tax free would be dog sitting again for the couple I was sitting for end of last year and beginning of this year. I had to stop because my stadium position caused conflicts in the scheduling. They got another sitter but she was going back up to college I guess last week now. They had contacted me probably at the start of August to see if I could sit with their dogs again. I would like to tell them yes, but I really can't sustain myself on $5 an hour (if that's still the rate) and expect to move in with Sam. I could give them my schedule if they need me as a backup sitter, if scheduling doesn't conflict that is.

I just wish I could do it all and please everyone :)
