For the first time ever, my dad is not claiming me as a dependent. So I have to do my own taxes. 

Holy fuck I’m old now. 

Did a bunch of other stuff concerning my finances and household today. It’s been a bit crazy here since my grandmother went off the deep end and moved back in with my parents. I feel awful for my parents-they’ve spent the last 23 years taking care of my brother and I (and they’re still taking care of my brother, since he’s a bit off kilter as well) and now, just as my dad retires, they have to take care of my grandparents too. They got one vacation to Hawaii in last year but they probably won’t be able to take another one for a while. 

Everything is so different now. I’m working, paying bills, paying taxes. My grandparents are no longer the lively people who would take me to the park. I’ve known this has been a long time coming but it’s still strange.
