Cousin Bernadette - how she's doing

(Cousin Bernadette is my name for my relationship with debt...so don't feel bad as I bad-mouth her!)

I haven't mentioned Cousin Bernadette in a while. Basically, nothing much has changed. She's still here, still living in my apartment driving me crazy. I know she's here, but no one else seems to notice her which is good, but....I just want her out. She's in the way.

I have been trying to tell Dear Cuz she is on her way out, but she knows that she's still going to be around for quite some time. I am trying to make her go, but there's not an easy way to evict her, but I have to keep working on it. Lately she hasn't been able to tempt me and make me go out spending with her. I've been trying to keep busy with projects that are more interesting than going out with her. I also have been trying to ignore her when she really wants to go out....she'll come up with all kinds of reasons to "party," but I have to keep saying no. But still, she knows she's here for a while to come, so she is enjoying hanging out, eating my food, annoying me.....still trying to get me to go along with one of her schemes.

But, one day I hope to have the satisfaction of showing her the door, her baggage and all.....OUT!

I understand...except my Cousin Bernadette is being very, very persistant and telling me all the things I need to think about getting for vacation.
