My dad made it through surgery, and he's doing a lot better. It'll still be most of a year before he can walk. I'm home right now, visiting, checking things out. I've already gone through the books, and yeah, the business is in pretty bad shape. And yeah, their personal funds are drying up fast.
BUT, I don't think anything's out of the ordinary for what they've all been through. My mom's stressed out and kind of broken down, Brian is at his wits end, and Ashley's being an idiot. I'd say everything's kind of "normal". The only odd thing is that mom and brian are fighting way more and can't stand to be around each other. I mean, that's always been the case, but not to this extreme. Brian moved out of the house, and in with his girlfriend.
I've got an interview on Wednesday for a job in Chicago, and if I get it, I'll be doing okay, financially. it's 3.50 more than what i'm making now, so I can dig myself out of this hole in about 2 paychecks. It's not the best job - Officemax, but it looks good on a resume - Supervisor. and I'd have at least one weekend a month off, and every sunday. So, let's cross our fingers.
The gest of it is that, at this point, I'm not sure about moving back yet. I think I'm going to give it one more month and see if everything balances out. God I'm sick of this back-and forthness.
