Found this on 11-II-2014., but it can't be right, she was still with Zlija then, so I'm moving it to here, I guess it should be written down as news on 11th. I do find such inconsistencies here and there. Could also be 2016, as at this time he still didn't have a car.)
Lena and Milan are going to Budapest on 21st, made reservations today. It's strictly downtown, parking will be a killer.
She made čvarci on 11th. Excellent.
The black cat died. He was somewhat sick the day before, and we noticed he wasn't quite in the best shape. She went down to the basement to stoke the fire (no need to, really, the AC could warm us just fine these days, as it's above zero the whole week, and even the week before it was sunny by day, frosty by night). There she saw him lying on that old couch pillow in the heating pipes' tunnel, down on his spirits. He didn't come to eat whole day, but hey, it's february, both him and Donald are absent for days sometimes. And they do come wounded, lick their wounds and go on.
Well, not this time. He managed to drag himself up to the garage and then dropped there. Wasn't quite stiff when she found him. Among the planks (the smoothed ones we prepared for the upstairs doors, stacked as a fence to the cellar staircase) there was the big nylon bag from some supermarket, where we put the empty boxes when Ender was tight-packing his gout and sugar meds for the flight. I had burned the boxes just a few days ago.
Saw them online, all (except Eleese, she was in her room, I guess). Ender was like peed-on flower, as on tuesday, when he was in transfer (with his dad, they went to California to fix his aunt's jaguar and on were delayed, first by having to wait for monday to get the parts, then because Dallas airport was snowed-in), a letter from the bank arrived for him, and when they talked she asked whether she should open it. He said open, and she found that he still owes about 23K$ in student loans. The money he spent on tuitions (and it all went to the school, he didn't see a dime) when Fayes had the idea he could make a career in computing. Which he's good at, but they weren't able to organize the final course so he never got the diploma, but still owes the money. And none of the guys from his class got a job. Actually one did, but not in computing. Though he may make a good admin... at least could have, but now his knowledge is some 5-6 years old. So, anyway, she got pissed off royally, and he got a good rubbing when he came on wednesday.
Currently, their plan is that he should sell his car and pour that money into repayment. Also, the repayment on the house loan goes back to the default level, and the extra is also going into the repayment of this - always repay the debt with worst interest first. The house is half paid already (actually 3/4, as we gave them half the money up front). And no more fast food and buying things on a whim. Discipline coming up next...
