I'm also at 30 hours a week, which makes it tight -- but I went on the company health insurance this month which is actually $300 less/month than my previous plan and cut a couple other small expenses. I still should drive some Lyft on the weekends, because even $100 from a couple hours of zooming around Boston goes a long way. But with the cold and snow, I haven't felt up to doing it these past weekends.
(I also took a large-for-me-withdrawal-with-tax-penalties from my IRA for the new water heater, so I'm like "Oh, let's just burn dollar bills, what does it matter" because I'm shedding money so fast it doesn't feel like it matters.)
Starting this weekend, I'll get back on the Lyft horse, I swear.
Askye, here's a thought -- have you thought about being a Census enumerator part-time? The pay is great and they don't expect most to do it 'full time' except during the period immediately after 4/15.
They make you take a basic test of reading, writing and basic math, which I think you'd ace. (Around here -- Cambridge and all the colleges -- you pretty much had to get a 100%.)
he had ice chips, jello, and oxycodone
Perhaps the perfect first post-surgery meal.
Great news that Tim got through okay!
Teppy, I hope both you and Tim had restful nights.
I mostly did, although the kitty woke me up at 5 a.m. yodeling for food (Tim gets up around 5 for work — I definitely don't — so Murderbiscuit expects food then.) But I went right back to sleep after I fed him.
I have to get a shower and then I'll head back to the hospital.
Glad Tim is doing well!
Video job interview tomorrow afternoon, because of course.
That's promising, though!
So I meant to get to NYC to see Oklahoma, and now it's too late! Bah.

Glad to hear Murderbiscuit is keeping to his schedule.
If I pretend I don't know what you are talking about, Jesse, your post is delightfully absurd!

He is a reliable alarm clock (in addition to being an amateur acupuncturist and all-purpose demonic entity).
Askye - sorry about the cut in hours. Seems to be feast or famine there. They worked you to death over the holidays.
Yes an interview is good, just timing. I have no internet at home, so need to go to library. I am going this morning when they open up test that. Also, as you might imagine, I'm a bit frazzeled, two day til movers, so I am going to have to work extra hard to get myself calm and focused before.
Today: take old meds to police station drop, test run of Skype at library, hotel reservations for drive while at library, call pet sitter, pack, lunch with family, change for interview, interview, pack, gather all unwanted vintage or dress clothes, take clothes to dinner for theater volunteer, dinner out with friends, more pack.
