Well done, sj!!

sj, you may have all of my calm, because I am seriously about to call up my roommate at work and yell at her that she can fuck her training run, she needs to come back home tonight before going to the airport, because I am NOT cleaning up all her shit before the maid gets here tomorrow.

Seriously, she's normally a mess, but apparently this morning she accidentally broke a lightbulb all over the floor, and stopped to at least sort of clean that up (?) but thereby was all sadface that she missed her bus (there's seriously another one 10 minutes later) and therefore "didn't have time" to clean out her cat's box. The one that had diarrhea yesterday. That she was all not having time to clean yesterday morning (but last night spent two hours watching a movie?) GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Thanks everyone. I have made a quick list of issues I want to discuss, and made a list of all my appointments so I don't overbook. Must.calm.down.

Ah, quester, I am so right there with you. I find it helps to take out the cash I have for the week and then not carry a credit or debit card. But if what you make isn't covering your expenses, that doesn't really help. I wish I had something to offer besides empathy.

~ma, sj. FWIW, I had a therapist for years who had no office assistant, and it was fine.

Calm, calm, sj. You're going to be fine. Good job on the prep work.

Have you tried the Dave Ramsey stuff, quester?

I just wish they'd make it clear what they're looking for. The fact that I have a job was OK, and then it wasn't OK, and I don't know why.

For that particular dog, not for all the dogs they have. The foster home, having closer contact with the dog, would know what the dog could or could not handle. Sucks, but sucks less than getting the dog, and then realizing you and the dog aren't working out.

Maybe she has too much separation anxiety. My brother's dog is a rescue and he totally does(He's gotten better since my brother has him, but still...) Maybe that dog expresses her worries by peeing...maybe you'll feel you dodged a bullet when you find the right one.

I won't have insurance until it does

Isn't it retroactive? Or is it about not spending up front?

Sorry, need to vent for a bit. Today can just suck it. It started off well enough, but I got my neck/upper back out of whack either while sleeping or *ahem* morning amusements. Now I can't really turn my head well. I stopped at the drug store to get drugs and a stick on heating thingy, and then spent 10 panicked minutes searching the car for my wallet, which I finally found.

You know? One of those days. And I can't afford to go home, so I'm working as carefully as I can.

Oh, and just found out that a friend of mine and Nora's has cancer. So FUCK CANCER.
