I don't know what I was thinking. I feel like someone should have sat me down and said, "I don't know what you're thinking. You can't live with Ike. Now go find an apartment. Go." For only $200 a month for my own bedroom in small house, I felt like I should at least try. Tried and failed. I feel like I've been very open about my distaste for all kinds of bugs and the necessity for order and cleanliness in the home. I should have cut my losses and moved to a 3rd world country.
As we're sitting in the living room the other day Ike's girlfriend, Cindy, says, "What's on kitty's arm?" We look at it. She's like, "I think it's ringworm." My reaction: "Ringworm? RINGWORM? Are you kidding me? Do people and animals still get that in developed countries? That shit is totally contagious, we're all going to get it. I have to change my sheets, the cat was on my bed. We're taking her to the vet ASAP." Ike scoffs, "Oh, that's no big deal, I think I have some Tinactin in the car. We won't get ringworm, it can't live long enough for us to get it unless we touch her. Just take a shower before you go to bed."
Okay, Isaac. MAYBE IF THERE WAS ANY HOT FUCKING WATER COMING OUT OF THE SHOWERHEAD IT WOULD HELP WITH THESE DISEASES AND SHIT AND INFECTIONS THAT YOU ERRONEOUSLY THINK WILL WASH AWAY, BUT THERE'S NOT, OKAY. THERE'S NOT ANY FUCKING HOT WATER, IKE!!!! I KNOW YOU DON'T KNOW WHY THERE ISN'T ANY HOT WATER, AND YOU DON'T CARE SINCE YOU HAVEN'T TAKEN A SHOWER SINCE APRIL, BUT THAT DOESN'T SOLVE THE FUCKING PROBLEM! Not to mention, Ike, that I'm a little hestitant about lighting the stove with a match since the gas company said that one of your gas machines is defective. Not that it matters, since there is no dishwasher or pipes for the kitchen sink to wash dishes. I also am not enthusiastic about your refusal to bring in an exterminator since you can get some free illegal bug spray from some guy you met at the Build-It-Again-Center. NOR am I impressed by your TOTAL lack of concern and COMPLETE disbelief regarding the fleas that run rampant on your animals and this house. You promised that you weren't going to act like we live in the Phillipines. You promised to put screens on the windows.
