My last cold Winter
We’re moving.
Oh, it sounds so sweet….we’re moving. We’re leaving this shithole of a trailer, and we’re moving into a real house. You see, mi casa es, uh, falling apart.
Quite literally. Aside from our recent plumbing fiasco, the floors are sinking. Yes, sinking. Water damage or shoddy craftsmanship or something. The roofs leak like whoa. It’s always freezing cold and in the winter we have to wear our coats and gloves and hats inside. And a trailer is just too small for five, and sometimes six grown people to live in. This house is shithole, and it’s only redeeming quality is it’s location. We’re distanced from our neighbors, and we’re right in the middle of three mountains, which means beautiful scenery all around. Granted, it means I can’t use my cell phone at home, but the view is worth it. We have a creek, a waterfall and water hole, a big, green, lovely forest, and a lot of wildlife. The goggehs get to run all over the place. I’ve lived here for 12 years, and I’ve always loved it, regardless of my assfuck of a step-father. I’ve never felt any desire to live in the city, because it’s so beautiful here. But this trailer is just uninhabitable.
My Great Uncle Bill, whose house I clean every Friday, is moving soon – to a house almost right next to my friend Katelynn’s on Beartown, so he can be closer to his brothers. Mom has talked to Bill, and if everything runs smoothly, we’ll be moving into his old home by the spring. Not only would I not have a problem with it, I’m unbelievably excited about it. And if I end up not liking it, well, I don’t see myself living with Jack and mom for very long. Since I’ll be taking classes in the city and working at CMOG, it would be extremely convenient for me. I’d also be a lot closer to all my friends, Market Street, and civilization in general. The only thing that unnerves me is the house. I’ve cleaned Bill’s house for ages, and I never liked it. It feels old and boring and not as cozy as this trailer. It makes me feel old somehow. But I think it’s far more beneficial than not.
It’s so exciting to think about living in the city. I’ll be able to interact with people more, which I haven’t been doing lately. I think it’ll be good.
