My World and How it Crumbles

So as life moves into a new age for me, life decides it's time to have an emergency. As of the 3rd I was issued a eviction notice (30 days) from my grandmother. Not a pretty thing. As to whether I deserve it or not, that's not something I will decide. especially since there are always two sides, views, and what not to every problem and issue. The notice said it was due to lack of paying proper rent. Which my rebuttal is that we agreed for at least the first three months of paying for my car which ended on the 2nd of this current month, that I would only have to pay $100 per month in the form of $50 per paycheck. Outside of that, besides my time being unemployed, I have paid her $200 per month. The letter stated that she said months ago that she wanted it to go back to $200, fair enough, however we never solidly talked about it. The other reason and the one which she states is the most important is that I do not do enough to help her around the house. So here is what I do around the house for clear facts:

1. I get water from those dispensers by grocery stores for 25 cents a gallon and carry it up to the third floor.

2. I take care of 90% of the laundry and pay for the majority of it myself with the exception of the detergent and probably about $7 in quarters a month. I buy the bleach and the fabric softner and make up the difference in cost. We generally have 8 loads of laundry a week at $2.00 - $2.25 per load depending on the drying cycle.

3. I take out most of the garbage and recycling.

4. I do dishes not often but about once every other week, however i do not create a lot dishes at all. I probably average 6 dishes a week if that.

5. I run to the store for her averaging about once a week.

6. When I am home on my days off, I make her dinner. Now it isn't anything elaborate but it is still something done. It averages about once a week that I do this.

 

Note that I do these things on top of working 40+ hours most weeks. I am not sure what to do about this however I am fairly sure I am going to follow through on the eviction even if she decides she does not want me to. We all make choices and I am tired of being the one who takes in the consequences, therefore, I am no longer going to help her in the sense she asked me to move to Cali from Oregon for. It ultimately makes me angry that I moved to help her, had no job for three months, and paid for the move myself. Ultimately I do not believe this is a fair turn of events. However that could be clouded with the fact that I am right in the middle of the issue. There are several other mitigating issues that I can see could be prime factors for a driving force on why she would be doing this. I agreed to help her overall but not do everything for her. Yes while I was unemployed I did do more for her, however it was understood that when I started working it would not be fair to expect the same level of "help" around the house.
