Life update: Bad news.
11 years ago
Some of you already know what's going on. This journal is just to update the rest and fill in any blanks that may have been forgotten.
The landlords stopped by yesterday and basically delivered my parents an ultimatum: In 3 days we will receive what is basically a warning letter. We will then have 30 days to pay $1000 or face forceful eviction. The letter is what will serve as the written notice. And no, this isn't sudden, my parents have a long history of being late with rent payment and I think that this is just the last straw - It's unfortunate, but this is how life works sometimes.
Part of the above is the fact that my dad has been unemployed since around the time of my brother's suicide at the beginning of the year. He just received his last paycheck a few weeks ago, so we've been juggling our bank accounts just to keep up the utilities and stock the pantry. This isn't new or unexpected: I've seen this coming for a long time. I just haven't slathered it all over the internet, I'm not looking for a pity-party.
The other half of my personal problems will remain just that: Personal. There are a select few who know what I'm going through outside of the housing issue, and it's going to stay that way. What I will say here is that I've been hurt, badly, and it's going to be a while before I'm back to 100% my self.
As far as Rainfurest: At this point I'm not longer certain if I'll be able to attend at all, due to the above money and housing issue. I don't have a room and I can't afford the registration fee (Thank you to those that have offered, but your rooms are already full with friends who -can- help pay) let alone the cost of transportation just to get to the convention. So to all those that had hoped to see me there, I am very sorry. :(
