I didn’t expect to have to deal with an intervention at the BBQ

I couldn’t believe it when I had friends and family set me up for an intervention.

I thought it was just going to be a regular BBQ at my brother’s house and a lot of different people were invited.

I just wanted to enjoy some good food. My brother cooks some mean BBQ chicken and it’s something I could never pass up! Not to mention, I love eating food there in front of his electric fireplace. I don’t know why, but I love that thing, even in the summer months! It’s just mesmerizing and He has a big screen TV on the top of the mantle, so it’s really the perfect place to relax. Anyway, everybody gathered around the fireplace after we ate some good food, I was thankful for that at least. Then everybody started saying why they were worried about me. It seemed so lame to me and I kept protesting against everybody talking all this crap about me. They told me that my home was in a terrible state of disrepair and I needed to get help fixing up the place. They said I was looking something like a hoarder with things scattered all around my home and I needed to throw everything out. Well, I was just organizing everything, it was just taking me longer than I planned. I also didn’t want to throw out most of that stuff because it has sentimental value to me. I love my collection of old dial thermostats for instance, they don’t make them like they used to! That’s another thing, they said I should be using a modern smart thermostat so I can save on my energy bills. It’s really not all about the money to me, but I don’t think my family and friends get it.
