Hunger gnawed at my belly, I should have waited for the midday ferry, then I could have had breakfast at the halfway house I'd had to stay at during the court hearings on the main land. Yet all I could think of was getting home to baboushka, great grandmother, even though she's passed on. The beat cops kept eyeing my outdated clothes. I was offered new clothes by the social worker but I couldn't bring myself to take them. It wasn't pride, it was an odd sense of disloyalty, even though I really wanted to wear modern clothes. The judge who heard my case felt that I was doubly lucky, first I'd survived a train crash as a small child, and then great grandmothers house and I had both survived the meteor strike that had laid waste to the upper part of the island. The judge instructed me that to prove that I could make it as an emancipated minor I would have to attend the regular school, not that there was money for tutors or private school anymore, I would need to submit regular written reports, and I would have to take a part time job. I'm lucky I guess two new stores just opened on the island so I can get a job at one of them after school and have the weekends free to do what I want. I want to restore the house to it's original glory, as well as update it. I'm not a fan of writing, but if writing daily in this journal is what I need to do to stay here then that's what I do. My belly is growling again, I can smell aromas on the wind from the diner, it's feast day today, yet I have no desire to celebrate. I really should go in, but sadness is weighing on me, I wish I knew Marta's pierogi and borscht recipes, I could use their comforting warmth against the coming winter. Taking pictures at dawn, 6 am, game time was not a brilliant idea. I'll try to get better pictures next game session. I used custard to remove cc from the lot, so it might be slightly different from how it was uploaded. I had to shift a few shrubs and trees out of the basement. It will be awhile before the weeds in the yard get addressed in game or story. Natalya has 126 sim days or 18 sim weeks until she turns YA on epic play. The house is fairly big so it will most likely take a minimum of 6 to 8 sim weeks to renovate & become friends with sims around town. She will most likely get an early birthday celebration when the house is finished. :) Updated with the better pictures. :)
