Although he is in a wheelchair, he is capable of doing a lot of things. He isn't your typical wheelchair bound person either, he is capable of using his legs to stand for a lil bit, if he is leaning on something. The reason I bring this up is because he is being very lazy. He doesn't make an effort to do a lot of stuff that he is perfectly capable of doing. I don't mind helping him reach something or getting something for him that would take him a long time to get, but stuff like getting a cup for him that is on his level and all he has to do is open the cabinet, he doesn't do. Instead, he'll ask me to do it. Sometimes, I'm in the living room and he's in the kitchen and he'll bring me over to do stuff like get a drink in the frig.
He is always lacking in some other respects. He changes the channel without even asking if your watching. Then, what makes it worse is that he don't sit there and watch it, but go on the computer or something.
I also don't like the fact that he woke me up on 4 seperate occasions to help him out with the computer, go get something or do something. I think that no one has the right to wake someone up unless its really important.
I greatly appreciate the fact he's letting me stay there and all of that, don't get me wrong. He's a good friend and my best friend. It's just that its annoying when someone has the power over you and you can't say anything. I think he should get used to doing stuff for himself, because after I leave, he will be on his own for the first time in his life. The sooner he gets used to it, the better. I understand that he's used to people helping him all the time and he is incapable of doing certain things, its just that all this takes its toll.
Ok, enough of that. Yesterday was crazy. Me and Michelle were coming back from college with groceries in tow. We get back to the house and there's his dad and stepmom. So I go to sit down and his dad says "What's your deal. What's going on"? So I explain that I"m coming from college. He asks how that's going. Then, he asks what are my plans on getting my own place. I tell him that I want my own place by the 1st. He asks how I ended up like this. Then the stepmom says, "You know my sister lives in a motel. They got kitchens there. They cover most the utilities. " I explain that we were in a motel and it's very expensive. She agrees and utters they do kind of smell too. So then his dad says, "I don't mind Alex having people spend the night. However, people who stay 2 to 3 weeks wouldn't be right. They're not on the lease. Plus we got this place for Alex. You guys can get a 2 bedroom but you got to pay rent and then we'll stop helping him, because you know we're helping him pay utilities. I nod my head and remind him that I don't feel comfortable living in other people's houses. We talk a little more and he leaves. I feel relieved when he leaves, yet stressed.
I think that they believe that I'm using Alex or something. I know they're looking out for him and have good intentions. I just didn't like the tone of the whole thing. It's a stressful as it is, I don't need these people.
Michelle has a job interview today for a tutoring position. Hope it goes well. My string of bad luck has to end some time, doesn't it? God I hope I find a place soon. I got to go, got Psychology class.
