I took the 43 Things Personality Quiz and found out I'm a Self-Improving Spiritual Tree Hugger

Not much changed----the family is still nuts, DH is still recovering, and I'm still trying to figure out what to do next.

Looking for work has been......interesting. Had a couple interviews but nothing panned out. It's ok but tiring. Many people are in my position.

This morning is an interview for grad school, hopefully we'll get the paperwork in time for me to register this term.

Things are still interesting here. Rather than elaborating on how life sucks, since most anyone who reads this will know that already...I'm indulging myself in a fit of nostalgia

One of my most favorite fairy-type tales of all time is Labyrinth. It brings back some of the very few happy memories I have from my childhood. So, I'm sitting here watching it, drinking a bellini, and eating fritos. (I'm all OUT of chocolate)It's lovely to just sit and be still for a minute, without feeling guilty for taking time for me.

The other day I went to the book store ALONE, bought a book I've been wanting and then went to the pretzel store and ate a pretzel all by myself! It felt wonderful to just poke around the book store and eat my pretel in peace.

So I almost started crying in the grocery store today. I am anemic all the time and can recognize the signs of when it's getting worse. I need to eat more meat when that happens since the one iron suppliment I can take is too expensive and I need to save what I have for when I get worse later this summer. (Can't get a job if you look sick, ya know) We just really can't afford meat, it's too expensive.

So, I feel horribly guilty b/c I had to spend $$$ on meat, *for me* and that's going to hurt us later in the month b/c of how much I had to spend. It's just going to get worse from here, the cost of everything keeps going up and the paycheck keeps getting smaller.

Our application for residency was denied b'c of poor credit. We have no where else to go. As of tomorrow we are homeless. I fucking quit.

Long time no posting....as usual. Seems I have a life off the internet afterall.

Anyway....To the people who prey on the poor and desperate:
Get over yourself. Not all poor people are stupid and desperation is NOT an excuse for unethical behavior. The actions I witnessed today will be checked with the appropriate authorities and letters will be written to inform others of your actions. Information is power, and the more people who are informed of your little ploy, the better.

Signed,
The Poor Family You ALMOST Got......

Any idea how one faces impending homelessness with grace? I'm having a very difficult time with this right now.

Been a crazy few months around here, with the accident and all.

Got a "Holiday surprise" that is not quite a surprise, just damn inconvenient.

Need to find a place to live ASAP.

FOUR more months to graduation!!!

Really, things have been rather crappy lately. I have some wonderful friends who are helping me deal with the crap while keeping my focus. That is a truly wonderful realization for the new year.

So, does anyone know any place that would rent/sell to low income people with poor credit?

Only four more days of break and still so much to do.

Off for a post-op appointment with the hand surgeon......have a great day!

I'm all about procrastination at the moment. Got mucho work done then had a slight emergency. And this is how I blow off steam:

I cannot focus. At all.

It would help if people stopped sitting down to "chat" when I'm trying to work. "I'm sorry" after inturrupting me DOES NOT help matters any. When I TELL you that I am having difficulty focusing due to all the BS happening right now, and you then CHOOSE to inturrupt my ANNOUNCED IN ADVANCE work time, you then deserve whatever comes out of my mouth in your direction. I am not sitting here cussing at my screen for FUN people! I am here because I have stuff to do and I am trying to get it done.

Geez......

Yet another day of NOTHING accomplished thanks to the peanut gallery.

Tomorrow J has another surgery, FUN TIME!
