I was going to get to this in the next vol although I could've mentioned it before... I was about to move on my own, I was househunting at the exact moment my grandma fell sick. My mom quit her job and moved 500 miles north to be with her. We aren't rich and it's a rent house we lived in (and where my mom still lives in), so I offered to rent it for myself for the time when she was gone (she'd either get better in a year or then, well, pass away
.) It'd make no sense to rent another place and then have my mom pay rent for an empty house, even that I really didn't want to live in my childhood home anymore. So I ended up staying for that entire year. My mom moved back to the house in the end of summer 09 (she stayed in the north doing funeral stuff etc for some time after my grandma passed away) and I was looking for houses again. But then we ended up moving to Thailand with my gf, E and his gf before I found a place, which forms most of the next volume.
I got money for everything from playing poker, I think despite all gambling I still made over 5k/month during 2009 for most months. I just didn't save any because I spent it all on stupid **** like random flights, getting drunk etc.
