Still packing stuff and now i'm looking for a box for this.

My dad and i made it a few years ago for halloween, probably 2015/16 if i'm remembering right. It's made from a lays can, a wipes container from his work, and paper maché. I don't remember what the wires and front metal bits are from, but the middle actually lights up! It has one of those long battery-powered emergancy lights in it and some colored tissue paper

#lee rambles #I gotta fix the metal bits on the front #they keep coming out of place and drooping down. maybe some hot glue'll work since i don't want to melt the styrofoam under the paper #I went as Chell that year #with a shitty handmade Aperature Science shirt lol #Also as a sidenote since i'm already talking a bunch in the tags #I have no idea if we're actually going to be able to afford to move or not #so we're kinda thinking about staying where we are and seeing how things go over the next few years #i know it's in my dad's will to sell but with how expensive rentals are i doubt we'd be able to afford 2k+ a month on top of our other bills #I just hope my Uncle doesn't give us too much shit about it. We didn't get much from the life insurances he had #definitely not enough to live on for long on its own #but 800 a month for the house is a lot more doable than 2000 #we don't want to end up having to kill ourselves working just to make ends meet. That's probably what would happen if we moved #i dunno #just... thinking a lot about the future. I honestly hope we stay #It'd get rid of a lot of stress if we stayed. We'd still get rid of a bunch of things but... it'd be easier.#We weren't even really allowed to grieve. once the funeral was over we just had to start packing our lives away.#i'm a little bitter about it really. They've gotten to grieve and be away from the situation. We've had to be there the whole time.#We might've all been there the day he passed but they weren't there for his bad days. They weren't there helplessly watching as he slowly #got more and more tired. and sick. and depressed.#I don't know what we're going to do.#I didn't mean for this to turn all venty. sorry about that if you've read this far
