Pass The Salt in Current Events

I’m still a salty queen about my roommate. I think bottling it up while waiting for the right opportunity to say something is not going to work. I’m just going to have to go for it and let her know that it has been hard to witness her live like a spoiled child. She has the emotional intelligence of a child who cannot will themselves to do things when they don’t feel like it. I need to have more respect for myself and not let her take advantage of me. I also shouldn’t enable her to live like this. I feel like I am raising a child that is fully committed to being a disappointment. That is refusing to live up to their potential because self-responsibility is hard.

I decided to go on a hunger strike. Not my hunger, hers! I refuse to cook for her on top of everything else. Yesterday she finished two bags of chips and ice cream because I did not cook her a meal. That was her dinner. Today, I made my breakfast and packed the leftovers for my lunches next week. She came out of her room for once but only to find that mommy didn’t make her breakfast. She had a bowl of cereal and then left me that mess to clean up. I just had to mop her ice cream off the floor actually. This bitch I tell ya… she went out to eat with her parents this evening. Tomorrow, I’m still not cooking her anything.

I finally got around to going over my budget. My tax refund came in, it was a lot larger than I thought it would be. My credit card will finally be empty. I can move forward with my application for a credit line. I’m looking into whole life insurance while I’m at it. I want to be my own bank in the future. I lost my savings and retirement during that transfer of wealth and power we are calling a pandemic. I need to find ways to be less breakable in the future. I had to lose everything to discover what was important. I would prefer to not do it again so this existential threat of social credit is at the back of my mind. Social credit in China is going to come with an expiration date. Nobody will be allowed to save money, this will make people more dependent on their government. China is a prison. I can tell that is coming my way soon because my Crime Minister is going ham on disarming us. Whatever! I can’t think about this right now.

Anyway, I really should study now.
