Exile BEEN Over

So, shortly after the last post my exile ended...I've just been too busy to talk about it. Here's a long ass recap of events:


Well, in an effort to cut down on the size of this blog I'll recap the events that led up to yesterday, talk about a creepy/weird situation and talk about just yesterday in different posts.

So, the exile thing. I stayed at work and out the house as much as I could, which made mom more and more mad as the days continued. I guess I mentioned that she got her place and all that, but there's more...

So on MOVING DAY, I wake up to an email on my phone from my mom. Who was in the other room. The ENTIRE night and morning. Weird, but whatever. I find out that she wants me to pay to stay with her because I'm leaving when I can. W.T.F? She goes on like...as a matter of fact, here is the email:

I really did not want to e-mail you this.  Since you are planning to move after I move...[personal info removed]...I am requesting $250.00 for expense and $50.00 in food.  If no food is provided then I am requesting $300.00 a month to help me with my bills.  We will discuss this if you disagree.

Then the second email:

Better yet, if you stay I will move the dresser into storage, upgrade my Internet and cable for $400.00 a month not including food.

I call my significant other IMMEDIATELY after seeing that and asked him if I could crash with him for a few days or until I could get my own place. He's down. I walk into the living room (where mom was sleeping because she decided to by a new bedroom set BEFORE she moved and had to pile everything in her room) and she decides to talk to me about it. Of course, it ends in an argument.

She calls me while I'm on the way to work and tells me she needs her money for me to stay there. That day. When I got home. So I decided to be out.

In the end of that debacle I grab all the stuff I need and move it to the SO's place and go back the next day to move the rest to storage. I let her know I'm out and she gets mad. Now I'm a liar. Apparently I've been lying since before I got my storage unit because I "knew I was leaving then and didn't tell her." I actually wasn't planning on leaving until she "crab in a barrel"-ed me. How the hell was I supposed to get out and in my own place if I was paying her to stay there? Not to mention the amount she wanted was half or more than what she would pay for rent AND utilities. I would need equal OR MORE rights at that point, and I didn't even wanna get into that fight. So I left.

I found my own place and moved into it this past Sunday. I still have some stuff at the SO's place and I don't have cable yet, but I have my place with my stuff in it all under my control.

Life is awesome (and in my case move REALLY quickly). I wasn't even supposed to move until the end/beginning of the month but my leasing agent told me my apt was on the top floor and I checked it out and it wasn't. I called her and she told me they had a cancellation that morning and the apartment I wanted was available, so I got to move in a full 2 weeks before I thought I was going to.

Now I can get my second cat (although PAWS has a Min Pin!!!!!!!!!!) and get all my stuff unpacked and in place and REALLY start life as a grown person!
