Long day. Haircut, preceded by target and followed by TJs. All with a dizzying headache. The shoulder/neck massage with lavender oil helped a fair bit, but still. Got back in time to swim, but not before Karen went out for the night, so her kitchen tomorrow. She's planning to load the truck Monday and head out Tues, but snow. I'm selfishly hoping for a delay.
Home, manicure, basic attempt at getting laundry picked up. I tend to leave piles. Tidy piles, but piles. And I've got to vacuum and mop tomorrow. And Karen.
And my damned body is revolting on me. The headache, reflux, hormones pulling one of their occasional snafus.
Msbelle, missed all your calls due to not being here or mired in acetone. And now my internet is being really shirty. I think I need to go check plugs, check for ice on the exchange box and possibly reboot the router. But that seems beyond me at the moment. < belch >
msbelle, you are definitely the best mom.
Aw, poor Matilda. And I'm sorry you and Hec are missing out on funtimes, too.
Kiba, we were just talking about that Angel finale gathering at my place! How long ago was that? Over ten years? Ack. Anyway, I might be able to make it to the food truck rodeo tomorrow. I'm supposed to get together with my favorite toddlers around that time (and their parents) and they live not far from there. A lot will depend on timing, but if I do go, I'll keep an eye out!
Also, I'm having lunch with Darth this week. YAY.
Lunch with Darth? So cool! Please give him Buffista loves.
Ugh. I'm seriously stressing about money right now (like so many, many others). I'm absolutely out of cash until I get more financial aid in a couple of weeks, and I'm trying to figure out how to make the toilet paper I have left last until then.
But more than my immediate needs, I'm really stressing about the future. I mean, going back to school is primarily about trying to make myself more employable, but so much of what I see and read does not really give me any confidence that I have much of a work future ahead of me.
Honestly, a large chunk of going to school is denial about the state of my life and the economy.
Lee, nada. Did you use my username here.1 at gmail?
I have twice in the past few years lost weight from illness, and you better believe any compliment was answered with an exaggerated smile and "Thanks!! I haven't been able to eat for three weeks!"
Sean, you are so not alone with your worries and your fears. Sorry it sucks so bad and I hate the feeling of trying to make things stretch.
(I love knowing someone I can call Zen!)
Glad to be Zen for you!
Sean, sorry you're under so much pressure. You are making a positive change in your life, but that can be stressful, too.
Sean, you're doing so well in school, and you should be so proud of yourself for the positive changes you're making in your life. I'm sorry that the money situation continues to be so difficult.
