What we're dealing with, and coping with, short early journal

Hi angel friends ,just some updates. Today, Holly and i have been doing drying ,cleaning ,organizing, and ordered a new electrical cord (strip/snap cord outlet) on amazon :) we had 2 hair dryers going earlier, and it was too much for the outlet. We thankfully have a back up one. Some more good things .Holly and i have put movies on today at times ,and have been talking with both my mom ,and dad about things .this is really unaceptable, what's been going on. when my brother Bobby lived here years ago (1995 to 2005), he did lots, and also my dad too ,with the pipes/plumbing, to the point where things are kinda rigged, and are more in the 1950's, and not the 2000's. this embarasses my mom and dad, that things aren't really well, and deters them from calling professional plumbing. There's a bad pipe, on the other side of the basement here, and every 2 to 3 days, my dad and i go over there, and we put a hose outside the cellar door, and a pump into this huge blue bin, that collects water, from the bad pipe, and we pump that water outside. we have to do this every 2 to 3 days ,or the water goes over, and it seems over here, where Holly and i, and Tiger are.

it's frustrating, that my dad had his settlement check, and didn't get that pipe fixed. the flooding issue we have currently, began on thursday evening, into yesterday. it was a clogged tub situation,causing water to just flood down into the other side of the basement, and that seeped over here. it's very time consuming, and really disheartening having to be using a hair dryer, heater, fans, to put in 4 different areas that have been affected. it's just very draining ,and too much to really cope with. during all of the wildness yesterday ,my parents needed my health financially for $700, for bills, Christmas shopping. my dad had 20 grand from his settlement, it's all gone, and they rely on me, and when other family members still paying me back, it just adds up and weighs me down into depression ,and frustration. i'm owed about $4000 from family currently. i'm not broke, but it does weight me down, and having to cope with this water issue, it's upsetting. it seeps into our room, and here in our hallway ,living room. the frustrating part too, is even drying it, it could happen again. moving into our own place isn't an option, but we just would like some progress with this all, it's just too much for Holly and i to have to continue to clean, dry, and it's a repeat process. it's tiring ,and dejecting, of our spirits that love to have some good, peaceful days, and it's upsetting, having had helped family, and they're off, doing whatever ,and we're here drying carpets. 2024 is gonna be very different. family is gonna have to fend for themselves financially. family has leaned on me enough, and having to deal with this water situation time and time again, just really has both Holly and i, really just done with it, and wanting our peacefulness back. this has distrupted our lives.

i'm gonna post a journal later ,just really needed to write this out, to let everyone know what's going on, as i'm behind with things, but am trying my best. it just feels like things have been too much lately ,but things will get better. Holly and i ordered a new electrical cord (same one that over-heated due to  2 hair dryers running), it's gonna arrive tomorrow. we're gonna shop later at the dollar tree. we do have a backup cord we're using. Tiger's here with us, and we're having some iced coffee, settling into the day. lots of movies later, ds time ,and keeping distance from family right now, we need to get our home situated, and dry again. Thank you angel friends, for sticking with us :) We wish everyone a good day :) ps, i also told my mom, and she can mention to other family members, as she talks with them often ,that right now, there's absolutely no way, i want to be asked by anyone in this family ,for money, it's an absolutely silent no from me, i won't even answer, any texts, or anything from them. it's an absolutely no way. i've got what i currently got, and there's no more room for loaning.
