Well after about 7 years of living with my Grandparents to help take care of them, the time has come for my Grandmother to move into senior living and thus I too must move out. I had moved in with them shortly after graduating college as my grandfather's health was going to shit and my grandmother could not take care of him. My grandfather was a double heart transplant, skin cancer, kidney failure, lung infection, plus like 79 other diseases.
Sadly he passed in April of last year.
I've been since taking care of my grandmother who fortunately doesn't have any serious illness but has degenerative arthritis in her back which means she can't do basically anything at all. I do all the grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, laundry, changing bed linens, on top of working 50 hours a week. In feburary her back totally went out on her and she was immobile for over a month. It made her realize that she needs even more help than I can possible provide unless I quit my job, which isn't happening, so she's selling the house and we're both moving.
For me it'll be interesting because it'll be the first time I'll be getting my own place with no room mates or family around. The prices of rent are insane too, this will be a hell of an expense. For the short term I'll likely be slowing down on new release spam, though new releases are drying up pretty fast so maybe it wont even be noticable. I look forward to flying solo for a change and seeing what true independence feels like.
