It's raining, it's pouring...

I have no idea how long this rain is supposed to last but I do know that I'm supposed to go down and start cleaning my brother's abandoned apartment. I hate to even enter the dark dungeon. I haven't been down there since I bug bombed. Hopefully all the giant gnats are gone. I'm not fully awake yet and I haven't showered. I guess I'll go down and at least look around.

Well, went down to Barry's apartment to begin cleaning. I started throwing the bags of trash he had piled up in the kitchen out the back door into the dumpster. Bugs came out. There were ants and roaches. The bug bombing of Thursday killed only the gnats. Luckily I'd bought two more. I set them off and left.

I came back here and took a nap before I began anew. I've been working on my own spare room. I've moved the computer and thrown away a few things of my own. I'm trying to make room for one of the bedframes from Barry's apartment. I would like to create a place for him to stay when he visits. Keeping his own apartment just isn't feasible. His check can not stretch to cover rent for two apartments. It will make him mad to learn of this but he will get over it.

He called earlier. He's not happy. He's still worried that he's going to be put away. This is not being put away. I'm simply giving him some options for his life. He had no opportunities here. Besides, he's proven that he just can't live on his own. He had almost a year to make it work and he never became self-sufficient. Instead he drug me down with him. Since I don't know where my own future lies, it's best that he try to make a go of it in Lebanon.
