it isn't something you do as performance art - or a style that is part of a performance - but just day to day life.

You people are really good at pep talks. Thank you.

Teppy, I replied to your Heartless squee over in Lit.

I just realized that I need MULTIPLE To Do lists to keep track of everything right now. Ye gods.

Massive health~ma all around!

Jilli! *squee*

ION, I have an air conditioner! My landlady found a small one that is plugged into a heavy duty extension cord that is plugged into the outlet over my stove which is on the opposite side of my only room. But, I'm cool!

This is mostly important because I have a job interview for a job I desperately want to get, but will require commuting 35 miles one way, to another city. The last job I had doing that fell through because the heat and humidity did not allow me to get enough sleep and I just couldn't learn the job fast enough because I was so brain dead.

The one huge worry I have, besides the sleep and my old car, is that the job requires an up-beat, bubbly personality. I can fake this, but only if I have enough sleep and enough medication to deal with my anxiety and depression. I prefer to be my mordant, cynical and sarcastic self, but I need this job!

It's at the University of Iowa! There will be intelligent people to talk to! It's in the printing department, the only industry I know as well as I know theatre! It's in a much cooler town! It pays what I was making in KC before I got laid off 2.5 years ago!

I want this so bad!!!

Jilli,

have you tried Wunderlist? I find it helpful for multiple lists. It is free!

Woot Jilli! Sounds like a fun project, and a perfect fit for you. You realize you are starting to live your bliss? So cool.

Much interview~ma, quester. I've heard good things about the University of Iowa, mostly their creative writing program. I hope this comes through for you.

Jilli that's awesome!!

Smonster - I've had good luck feeding my cats Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Food and Forta Flora supplement Dean has a very sensitive stomach, which doesn't stop him from trying to eat everything.

I feed them both the Salmon and Green Pea formula dry food (Dean didn't react well to anything with poultry or duck). I had him on the supplements before but he gained weight and was doing well so I stopped and he slowly lost weight. Now that I'm giving it to him again he's gained weight. Also he had eye gunk and that goes away with the supplements. I feed it to both cats because I don't want to try and juggling feeding them 2 different things.

Maria I'm sending lots of ~ma to your DH.

Connie, it's called dermatomyositis, and bro is getting tested *right now*...it's probably not FG, though. Your DH *might* have it and not know, because it's not something doctors look for often. Windsparrow, Perhaps you could be an in-home attendant, or job coach? Or work in a special-ed classroom or something. Mom has done some of those things.

sj, wrod. I straight-up told Ben Quayle's office that if I don't get my check, I'm blaming him. It felt awesome. I think I may have to be blunt in public more often.

I'm sorry erika. I really hope we all get our checks this month.
