Not working out like I thought it would plus breast lump...
10 years ago
Just an update. Things are not going like I thought they would. Everything I thought was going to happen hasn't, its been all backwards.
Yes I'm living with my cousin but not for free. My aunt decided that was unacceptable and is taking out my "rent and utilities" from what she pays me weekly at the sub shop. I don't know the math or what I'm making an hour or what my rent is. All I know is she pays me $200-$150 a week... And I work 7 days, 55 hours, with no break for lunch. I come in and do prep at 9 and I'm alone in here most of the day and close at 6-7. Oh and I don't get to keep the tips I make either. So I'm pretty angry about this whole situation. I've used my savings, not that that was a lot anyway, and live week to week. Between gas, groceries, and meds I have nothing left.
The point for me coming up here was so get my medical situation straightened out and SAVE MONEY. Which is impossible. I'm extremely upset that my aunt is treating me this way. I feel like a slave who gets an allowance....its not right.
My cousin is great and I love living with her. I don't think she knows what her mother is doing and how much I'm getting screwed. Yes my job is nothing like Moes and its better sure but at least at Moes I made what I worked for. And I got breaks, and got my tips..
I don't really know what I'm going to do....my mom wants me to stay here and thinks she can talk to her brother, my uncle, to talk to my aunt about payment. She wants tiikeri to come up here. But that would be pointless. We'd need to get a new place to live and he would need a job. Its a lot more expensive where I am and jobs are even more scarce then in DE....so that's stupid. I'm probably going to just end up going back to DE and to moes....I don't know...I'm lost and in limbo again...
But aside from that I haven't gotten any healthier, I feel like I've gained weight actually. But what scares me the most is that I found a lump in my breast, I got it checked and they don't know what it is....I have breast cancer on both sides of my family...so the fact that they don't know makes me uneasy. Next week I have to go in and they'll take a sample of tissue to find out what it is, and then go from there...
I'm working still. I'm able to sketch and ink at the sub shop in the afternoon because it gets that slow. I'm really trying to finish things. I need start taking more commissions for more of an income but I won't until my que is practically cleared. I know I've taken a while and I feel awful....but I really am trying.
I just feel like with every positive step I make...I get dragged 5 steps back.

Yeah, look up your local labor/wage laws because this isn't legal.
Also the lump thing is scary. I had a lump appear in one of my breasts while I was in college. Thankfully it was harmless but I did end up having a lumpectomy anyway to have it removed since it was a pretty good size.
I hope everything works out ok for you <3
She does need to give you your fucking tips.
Weh, poor dear. you are certainly getting another hug next time I see you.
And hey, good luck with the doctor. I wish you the best D:
2. Try indeed, friends, drop resumes anywhere you can, look online constantly. Try to tell your cousin whats going on. Biopsys and check ups arent cheap :/.
If youd like to chat sometime note me and i can give you my skype or faceboom ^^
