Ugh- sorry in advance for the whining

So the tl;dr version of my last 9 months is I've lived with my dad since my old apartment raised the rent to an amount I couldn't afford, and all of my stuff is either stored in my mom's garage or in the room where I'm sleeping, so I see all of my shit in boxes all day every day. I have no way to put my clothing away, except a flimsy garment rack and some plastic storage totes, and I have no place to do work like writing or other "office" type work. It's just the kitchen and the back room where I sleep that I have some sort of space.

Today, I scheduled myself for some food photography for one of my blogs (I have three because I hate myself), and my dad and stepmom have pretty bland plates so I was trying to think of how I could get some interesting plating done, and I found a really nice one in the cabinet so I plated everything up. I was in the middle of photographing when my stepmom came in and started making dinner for her and my dad, which is fine, their kitchen is very middle class and open concept so we could be on opposite ends and it'd be fine. She saw the plate I was using and said that in the future she'd prefer it if I didn't use those because they're expensive.

I know, I know. This is very first world problem and I fine with that, but the way she said it made me feel twelve like she didn't trust me to treat her shit nicely. I'm 31 years old, for shit's sake. I'm not going to go out and play frisbee with your pretty china plates.

Although now I want to.

It's all because I've been feeling like I'm stuck in a place where no one wants me around because I am 31 years old and they didn't actually want me to be here when they said I could stay till the house they promised to let me live in opened up. Turns out it isn't available because the people living there currently trashed it and now I have to find somewhere else to live. I'd been thinking about starting the house buying process, so it's not too bad of a deal, but just ... don't make me feel like shit because you didn't follow through on what you promised.

bah. Thank you for your patience and I hope you have a good day.
