It's been three full weeks, now. Anyway, I actually got the speaker today that I've been waiting so long for...and it's junk.
But I went on Ebay last night, and found a speaker set that meets the specifications that I've been looking for, all along. And it's American made! So no language barrier issues. I can plug it right into the wall and it has flashdrive and SD ports right on the subwoofer. Computers are optional with it.
However, I did something on Ebay that eroded my confidence in having a millionaire mindset: I clicked on the "order now" button and for this item: a home/car stereo amplifier, which also looks like it would be something that I can use. and realized that I had to pay for it, no matter what. Once you hit the "order now" button, it's a done deal. I will keep in mind never to drink and do Ebay again.
Anyway, does anyone know anything about stereo amplifiers? It seems that all I need to do is add speakers to it, and an AC adapter. If I'm allowed to, I will give a link to the product.
Anyway, something I forgot to add to my journal. As I was dropping stuff off at home yesterday, I asked my stepdad if my mom wanted me to call her, or something, as she often leaves messages to other people to that extent. And I got a super-snotty reply of "why don't you call her yourself".
Now, this man has helped me out of a lot of money issues, but he does have an attitude. So all I could do was not show that I was in any way upset with the response, which I didn't. However, it just reinforced the fact that I will have to find a way to get out of that house, for good.
I have to admit, that a whole semester of school with very little negativity entering my life has left me wanting even less negativity in my life. As much as I miss my best friend after he committed suicide, I feel liberated in not having to hear someone whine and moan and not do anything about his issues. (His inability to take intelligible action, as well as his inability to stick with the intelligible decisions he made backed him into a corner he couldn't get out of).
So, I'm feeling stupid for spending so much money. But I'm happy that I finally found what I've spent the last month, at least, looking for: a speaker that plugs directly into a wall, and plays SD card and flashdrives without the aid of a computer--or anything else.
I also noticed last night, that I didn't feel so stupid and worried for long. I don't know if it was the Bach's Rescue Remedy (which I've been using for the last couple of weeks) or the subs that were playing all night, or both, but I felt pretty good after awhile. I woke up feeling pretty good, as well.
