February 23: Top 10 Mistakes I've Made Since 2013
Thursday, February 23, 2017

After making this list,
I contemplated deleting it
because it could be my eleventh mistake.

Top 10 Mistakes I've Made
Since 2013

*NoteBl* Answering my sister's phone calls after 7:00 PM because she is always drunk when she calls that late.

*NoteP* Letting my sister sign the last lease with me instead of signing it myself. Having my sister on the lease obliges me to let her pay the rent.

*NoteBr* Accepting money from my sister to help with expenses instead of finding alternate means. My sister helping me with expenses gives her permission to tell me what I need to do.

*NoteB* Letting my sister move my library into storage instead of giving it away. I don't know what happened to the books, but I suspect she may have thrown them away.

*NoteY* Not being aggressive enough in attempting to publish my stories and poem. I'm good at writing and I can make extra money with it.

*NoteV* Not distancing myself further from my dysfunctional family after my mother's death. My family didn't help me take care of Mom. I was the only one responsible for her while she was alive. They only showed up at random times when they had another reason to come to Las Vegas.

*Note* Letting myself get stress about the way I'm treated by my family. Despite everything, I love my brothers and sister; it hurts to know that they care so little about me that they don't call or even bother remembering my birthday unless they are in Las Vegas for another reason.

*NoteGr* Not being candid enough with my dysfunctional family about the way they treat me. I resent the way they treat me and they need to know.

*NoteR* Being afraid to confront my sister again concerning the issues that have festered for decades between us. My sister and I were sexually molested when we were teenagers. The one time I attempted to confront her with it she called me a liar.

*NoteG* Procrastinating instead of taking action. This is a problem I've had for years and I suspect it can be traced back to what happened to me as a teenager.
