scene:

[doorbell rings]
mom: "SHEILA COME DOWNSTAIRS!"
me: "HOLD ON LET ME PUT ON MY PANTS"
mom: "SHEEEEILA"
me: "COMING"
post office person: "sign here. and here. oh, and print your name here."
me: [in head] "oh thank fuck, it's from the laywer, woooooo cash!" [out loud] Thank you!"
mom: "is it the check?"
me: "...no. but I think my half-brother that I never met is dead."
mom: "what?"
me: "that...was really kind of a let down."

which makes me sound like a horrible, horrible person, I know. but um. yeah. that was TOTALLY NOT AWESOME.

for background, I have been waiting on this check since last year. The probate case was done by June and the land sold, then there was some other stuff that didn't get taken care of until December, and the lawyer was all, "oh, I'll have this check for you before Christmas!" and then there was waiting and waiting and waiting and now I think my half-brother that I've never met has passed away. GOOD TIMES.

fuck it, I'm organizing my itunes.
