Here on a rainy, stormy morning, feeling better than I have in a while.

My son is excited but really really stressed about moving out. He's picked out an apartment complex he likes, and I'm so afraid he won't qualify financially. I wish I were rich, so I could help out, but I'm barely making it myself right now.

I guess my sister's tenant has decided to stay in her place? I'm not sure, because my sister didn't call yesterday which is the day she was supposed to know for sure if the tenant is moving. The tenant is on disability, and my sister is her payee. I know my sister was just trying to help the lady out, but it seems like she's got herself into problems. The lady was a stranger to her when she moved in, and her sister was her payee at the time. Well, her sister suddenly up and announced she wouldn't be payee anymore, so my sister said she'd do it - which I thought at the time was unwise. Now the lady is saying my sister is stealing from her. It's frustrating to me, because in fact my sister lowered the rent on the place in order to make it more affordable for this lady. And my sister's been paying her utilities for some reason that I don't understand. When she told the lady she couldn't afford to continue paying her electric for her, the lady got mad and said she was moving out. But I'm guessing she won't have any place else to go because she's been evicted from several other places since she was released from prison a few years ago. And my sister's not going to put someone out on the street. My sister's a very generous person, and that's lovely, but she's had this happen to her over and over. She gives and gives and gives, and the other person demands more and more and more. She never seems to learn to just draw the line and say 'no.'

So, anyway, probably my son's out of luck on getting that place. And really I doubt he'll find another place where he'll qualify.

I wish he wouldn't get himself so working up. He told me yesterday he wanted to quit his job because he's "ugly." He's not ugly, but even if he were, it would be irrelevant. Am I being too logical? Ugly people have to work too.
