My family isn’t coming. They were planning on coming to visit this weekend - they would get to see the closing weekend of my show, see our apartment, meet our dogs, tour the city… this was my big chance to show them what it is that I DO. To prove to them that I’m not an irresponsible failure who wasted my college career on a useless major and who can’t even keep my checkbook balanced and my bills paid. But, they’ve had to spend so much money fixing and insuring the car they bought us, since we can’t afford to do it ourselves, that now they can’t afford to come visit after all. I haven’t seen them since graduation thirteen months ago, and I probably won’t see them now until at least Christmas - that is, if we see my family for Christmas instead of Bill’s. I feel like a little kid who’s suddenly been told that Santa’s not coming, because I didn’t make my bed, and there’s nothing I can do about it.
