In which there’s some good news… for once. We don’t have to move! AmmZon’s mother has offered to sell her the house, and at a remarkably reasonable price. AmmZon is considering it, and in the meanwhile: we’re not evicted! Yay! I can stay here until I get a job and an apartment! My previous employer […]
In which I present you with a list of my recent accomplishments! Yay! 1. I finished knitting the first gauntlet. 2. I applied for a job at Cambridge. 3. I wrote a letter to Brumbaugh & Quandahl, PC, LLO, Rat Bastards about the levy on my checking account, inviting them to either provide evidence that […]
In which I discuss the fascinating and perplexing details of poverty. I had had a credit card through Capital One for many years. (Yes, yes, I know that’s a bad idea because their interest rates are astronomical, but whatever.) When my household’s income dropped drastically for over a year, I was forced to make executive […]
In which the mere change of the year does nothing for me. And it is, of course, all about ME. At the awesome combination wedding reception/New Year’s Eve party I attended, someone wished me “a great 2007.” I replied that I was looking forward to 2007 because it certainly couldn’t be any worse to me […]
In which I couldn’t go anywhere even if I wanted to. Freezing rain last night. It is, as they say, colder’n a witch’s tit outside. I can’t even open the jeep’s doors because they’re frozen shut. I can’t finish the BME site until — gag! — I get a copy of MS FrontPage installed. Fucking […]
In which I didn’t go to jail. I have made $0.07 from my Google AdSense ads so far. (That’s about $25 a year. Whee.) Go, me. It’s getting c-c-cc-cold here. I am not diggin’ it. I much preferred yesterday’s chinook, in which I wore a long-sleeved cotton t-shirt and was comfortable, but right now there’s […]
In which what the flying fuck!??!?! Bread dropped by today. We were served papers today; the sheriff was out at the farm this morning. Turns out the folks from whom we’re buying the farm property — on contract — are attempting to sue us for breach of contract, to the tune of about $40k. My […]
In which I feel rather taciturn about good news, given the run of things lately. The bad news is that [a] I’m not eligible for unemployment benefits until the last day of the month and [b] my benefits, when they start coming in mid-August, will be a whopping $164 per week. I suppose I can […]
In which I’m overheated, excited, a little stressed, and realizing how deep my poverty-consciousness goes. It’s unutterably hot and humid outside. I just had to walk to the bank and back because Bread’s got the big black truck. I’m all sticky. There’s a severe weather alert out for thunderstorms, and at lunchtime it turned dark […]
In which I learn a valuable lesson about stress and partnership, and a Friday that goes all the way into Saturday morning! After work last night, I went and had that nice cold cocktail. Yum. Then I jumped into the BBT and drove myself home, windows down, NPR on the radio. Friday! The weekend! Yes! […]
