so, mom called me from the kitchen around noon today and said we had no water. i looked online to see if there was a water main break or something. there was one in a town a few miles from us but that shouldn't be affecting us. i then asked her if she paid the bill. she was quiet. she couldn't find her password to get online to see her statement. so, i made her a new password for it and sure enough, the bill hadn't been paid. so, i immediately paid it and she called the water department. apparently, the bill was due November 8th. that was twenty fucking days ago. so, i told her this afternoon that i am taking over everything so this shit doesn't happen again. i have tried to do this before but she hasn't relented her control on shit. but, when she realized she hadn't paid the bill her response was well, another reason to leave the earth. so, yeah. i am trying to juggle her anxiety, depression, anger and her oncoming blindness all at the same time. i am hoping she will see that allowing me to control the finances will take a huge burden off of her and she can live without trying to remember shit while not being able to see clearly what she is trying to pay online. what happens most of the time is she doesn't realize that she has signed up for paperless billing and then doesn't think twice when a bill never comes in the mail. have i mentioned how i hate this time of year?
i did get my Christmas shopping done last night. i hope mom likes what i got her. if any of you want to be on my Christmas card list, be sure to send me your mailing address by or around December 1st.
the New York Rangers lost last night at home to Buffalo, 5-1.
