It's straightening out. Whew.

Everything is starting to even out, albeit slowly and painfully.  I've begun developing the routines that I'll need to survive my workday, blah blah, and it's helping me to feel a bit more secure, though I'm nowhere near where I want to be as far as the house is concerned.  Still, I'm beginning to make plans, and that's always a good sign, I suppose.  This weekend I plan on tackling the kitchen, as I'm tired of the boxes in there and not being able to turn on my stove because half of my shit is piled on top of it. 

 

This is my new reality, I guess I'd better get used to it.  As I stated - I'm still nowhere near where I want to be, with any of this, but... it is what it is, so I have to make the best of things.

 

There's still a lot to get done, though.  I'm having issues with my financial aid this semester - I'm trying to order my books and they're telling me I don't have any financial aid to do it, which is utter bullshit.  At least, I hope so.  I can't afford to take more money out on a loan for a mere 300 dollars' worth of books.  I'm already into this school for a shitload as it is.  Guess I'll have to call them, yet another thing to add to the massive to-do list...

 

The financial picture is still a bit bleak, but once I get that 8k in, a lot of things will clear up - a LOT.  I'm counting on that.  But we all know how the gubmint works, at least those of us in America - they'll take however long they want about things.  I should know, I work for 'em.

 

I've decided to go ahead with the party, though it'll have to be a "drop in and eat" affair, which I think may actually work better for some people. 

 

I had a lot more on my mind, but I've actually been quite suddenly afflicted with a headache, a rather strong one at that.  Ugh.  That's all I need, another weekend wasted due to my ailments, whether mental or physical in nature.  And I don't have the extra time this weekend, it'll be a full week of drug addicts and insanity starting Monday.  Whoo.  Thrilling stuff, isn't it?

 

I hope I can get through today without being too incredibly bored - Friday, y'know.  I could be doing so much more at home, but, meh.  In time, I guess.
