"Im'ma tagalong kinda guy."

Move over offensive and sleazy Melvin Palmer, your "I'm'ma get along kinda guy" is now replaced by my tagalong reference.

I wonder whether I have offended my Mother. I am visiting family and after my Mother began a conversation I said "the whole point in me visiting was to fix the computer" or something to that effect, the computer being what someone back home sold me, having had no desire to fix it himself and not wanting the hassle of listing online. I visited predominantly due to it having been both Father's Day and my Father's birthday, very recently and wanting to give him a present. I then tied the planned visit in with depositing the aforementioned computer at my parents' house. Originally the plan was to give my old bedroom to my sister and I had relayed to her my feeling that it was unfair that I had my bedroom in Birmingham and a storage room, effectively, at our parents' house, while she lived and worked in a horribly small room. So I worked hard to transport as much of my remaining belongings as I could, as quickly as possible and speed up repairs whenever I visited. Then more recently my sister revealed to me that she was moving out to live with her boyfriend. I felt terrible, having not been able to speed my plan up enough in order for her to benefit. But if she is happy living with him and now has the space she very much needed, that is a good outcome still. Suddenly my old bedroom was no longer needed by her, although she had started to leave some of her stuff inside, I noticed. At one point I considered giving the bedroom to my oldest brother or at least for him to store his goods that belong to his online retail operations, knowing how tight for space he is/was. But then he bought a house!

So my old bedroom sat there, quite lonely and more empty than it had been in some time. I was moving ahead with my plans, one of which involves buying a house and I was getting ready to move out of Bottetourt Road.
