Well, on the second I got my flu shot finally. My brother took me to Walgreen\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s and all that for it.<br \/>\nSaturday I only had two flu-like symptoms \u00e2\u20ac\u201c as some people got those after getting a flu shot. I was very weak and I ached. Therefore, while I did get up to go grocery shopping, the rest of the time I slept due to aching muscles and sheer fatigue.<br \/>\nSunday\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 it was normal\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 I was tired, but not the same way as Saturday. Monday was basically the same. Tuesday I went with my mom to get haircuts.<br \/>\nWe got up early, I actually got up at six. I ate breakfast and took a shower. After that we left around seven thirty. Mom dropped my dad off at work, we stopped by the bank and then we left. I wound up sleeping most of the trip there. We then stopped for brunch around ten at IHOP and went on our way to the mall.<br \/>\nIt was our last visit there. The mall will be closing down at some point, but is struggling to stay there until the last minute. It opened back in the seventies based on what I know. My mom has talked about it a couple of times in reminisce. Anyway, come November, the hair salon we have gone to since \u00e2\u20ac\u0153forever\u00e2\u20ac\u009d will be moving. The workers there will go to separate malls nearby. Both are about thirty minutes away in opposite directions.<br \/>\nWell, we entered the mall, Mom shopped some and I just followed as usual. She bought some clothes and then we headed up the stairs to the salon. Her appointment was at eleven. Mine was at twelve. I had an hour to kill.<br \/>\nAs I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve done the past few times before, I walked about the mall to see what stores had left and what ones stayed, what stores were new and all that jazz. The store I get my jeans at was gone. I intended to buy myself a new pair since it is fall\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 No can do. I continued on and stopped by Earth Bound. I never expected to find anything, but it killed time. I eventually left and headed back to the salon.<br \/>\nUntil the time my appointment arrived I read a book comprised of short stories. It was written around the seventies. It is okay\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 I got it for one story in particular, but of course will read all the others just to see if there is anything else of worth in it.<br \/>\nWell, my appointment came, I got a haircut, found out my stylist is going to the northbound mall; therefore, I likely won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t see her again. My mom and I will be going to the southbound one since it is closer to where we are located. Sigh.<br \/>\nWell, after that I resumed my reading until my mom was finally done. We paid, we left and she shopped a bit more, this time for earrings rather than clothes. We finally left after that, ate a late lunch around three and then headed for home. I slept almost all the way back too.<br \/>\nWednesday was like the days before\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 did my chores, slept most of the day do to tiredness. I did learn some things though. My mom was talking to my sister on the phone, so I heard things. Was I listening in? No. I just tend to hear. Well, the IRS has frozen my parents\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 bank account and my mom has gotten served over something dealing with debts. All of this happened on Tuesday and Wednesday.<br \/>\nLast night mom asked me about how much money I had in my bank account. I told her. I also did some rounding on how much would be gone once I helped out on mortgage, got groceries and paid for the orthodics.<br \/>\nMom told me we would reschedule the appointment for the orthodics. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not weeping. She also spoke about issues about getting groceries this week. Eventually I came to understand. They would need a lot of my help financially if things go for the worst. This is sad since I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t tend to have a lot of money to begin with.<br \/>\nTo add onto my mother\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s misfortune, her car broke down Wednesday afternoon. It had something to do with the batteries. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know how she got home exactly.<br \/>\nWell, it is now Thursday. It is like the days before to me. I do what chores come along and I sleep. Yes, I am still bloody tired for some reason.<br \/>\nI woke up at nine thirty and was getting my breakfast when I saw my brother was home. I saw him again after I finished eating. It seems Mom\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s car was still here. He was trying to fix it. Since he was driving the other car and Mom\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s is out of order, I have been wondering how my parents got to their respective work places.<br \/>\nSomewhere within all this, I learned about my mother\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s cousin \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the one my siblings identify as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Aunt\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. She and her long since separated husband have been filing for divorce. Well, it ended. They got fifty-fifty. My aunt had been trying to get it at thirty-seventy or at least forty-sixty.<br \/>\nWhy? She raised their kids on her own with no financial support. Now her children are grown, married and gone. Basically everyone in the family sides with my Aunt. Sadly, she isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t rich. She couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t afford a lawyer for long, so eventually she had to cave in. They struck the deal outside of court.<br \/>\nOther news\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 my great aunt is in a nursing home\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 or perhaps a hospital? She\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s in her mid-eighties and still has dementia. So yeah\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 my Aunt is alone. Her kids are gone and her mother is in a home.<br \/>\nOther than that\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 nothing much has come up. Well, I have lost about seventy-five dollars so far to that phone thing I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve mentioned briefly, but I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not getting into that. As for the future\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Well, on October 16 I do have the dental appointment still.<br \/>\nIt is one mean year\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s see\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Ever since I got my flu shot, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been rather weak so time has been a blur really.
