The best laid plans

Ok. So, today’s nothing special. It’s church, which is normal. Linuxman is planning on doing research on different religions and belief systems and having a lesson or semester on that, which should be really cool. I find other religions and faiths to be interesting. Especially their origins.
Mom and Dad kinda changed their future all over again. Ya know, years ago, they said that when I was ready (aka when my car was paid for) they’d let me move into the A-frame house and live there. Then they decided they wanted to move to Tennessee (well, Mom decided, and Dad was game). Especially after the hurricanes and all. Then Dad realized that they have snow in Tennessee, and that plan went out the window. Now they’ve decided that they want to buy a huge camper/motor-home and drive it all over the U.S. helping people. It’s a Christian organization where people go all over the world and they help build homes for the needy (kinda like Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, only with less publicity and glamour). So now they want me to stay here at this house, and they’ll drive all over helping people and seeing the beauty of the U.S. (because God knows there’s beauty out there, it’s just hard to find with all those people in the way -.-), and they’ll call and write and check in every now and then when they feel like it, and then they’ll be off helping others whenever they get restless.
Fine with me. I get to live alone and do whatever while they play hero. No big deal. Ya know as a home-body I really don’t understand the restless urges and need to change. I adapt to circumstances and then get used to them. I enjoy my routine. I’m a creature of habit, I like planning ahead and having maps and schedules and so forth. If they wanna go off and be helpful in their golden years, that’s fine with me. And the fact that they want me staying home so they’ll have something to return to when they get tired of the road only makes it better.
So, now it looks like I’ll be staying down here in South LA unless I actually get out and move myself (which is also a possibility in 10 or so years). Now, all I have to worry about is getting another job -.-
