So been kind of a klepto.
It started with a plot to take my mom's dog. He was originally for me since my eldest passed and my birthday was coming up. She decided on my birthday, after I spent hundreds of dollars on supplies, that she wasn't going to give him to me. After my heart stopped breaking, I found out that she gave him to my sister (that lives with her.) She starved him and kept him in terrible conditions. He was either outside with no shelter or inside a crate that has never been cleaned. I recently took back that crate (which was mine) and found urine filled pads, molded food, and feces. This is what he was forced to sleep in. Now I feel I should take back what was rightfully mine and have been planning to do so forcefully since I'm apparently selfish (although I was the one that fed the dog and paid for his vet bills when he had parvo.) I have no regrets in taking this dog back.
Then, I took my grandma's laptop. I felt bad even though she is convinced it doesn't work (really the battery was just dead.) I took it because she bought a computer for me for school and announced that it was for school. Yes...she said it was for me. I bought recording software and was planning on using it for practice (music minor) and asked if I could take it home because the dynamics of her house would screw it up. She said no. I asked if I could lay down some carpet (I'd pay) and she also declined saying that it was her computer. She didn't want it till I went on about how awesome it was. Its just a shiny new toy to her. Then she bought a laptop...one I planned on getting. It has been a year since it has even been turned on....
And I just got worse. I was walking in the mall today and saw a nice pair of earrings that came in a set ($10) but only wanted ONE pair. So I took that ONE pair and walked out. I feel wrong...but have nothing to justify it. While I'd like to return it, I can't because I don't have the rest of the set.
So with these three (what seem to be) terrible things under my belt. I'm not sure where I stand karma wise?
