To say the last 3 months was tumultuous is an understatement. Every time I get ready to post about what' s going on, I either become extremely overwhelmed or another urgent situation pops up. Then b/c I haven't caught up on what's going on, it's hard to just post "as normal" A viscous catch-22, so what I'll do instead, to get it out of my head, is just sum up some of what I've done:
- I moved
- I live w/my mother
- I packed all my stuff and moved boxes, drove the truck
- We are renovating the house
- There is no kitchen
- For the first 2 weeks, there was no bathroom
- We had 10+ days of 100+ degree weather
- We had no electricity in the bedroom
- We shared a dial up connection and a mini fridge
- Callie has been stuck behind the bathtum, under the staircase, on the roof, in the neighbors crawlspace, in our crawlspace
- I saw a huge white rat and freaked out till I realized it was a possum
- I got a 2nd job for the holiday season, I start today
- In 10 hours I put together 7 pieces of furniture
- I've been sleeping on a floor since July 20th
- The trunk of my car is full with stuff and I still have boxes @ my aunts house
- My mother hasn't even arrived w/her POD yet and we still have to go back and get 30+ more boxes
- The goddamn possum is eating all the bird food and it's now empty, I saw him shaking it last night
- I have eaten more fast food than I care to admit
- I now have a profound addiction to Sweet Tea
- For a long time in September, I thought I was going to lose my job
- I didn't
- I said something to my mother that caused he to stop speaking to me for almost 2 weeks
- Things still aren't the same
- I got hit w/a $6,000 bill
- I possibly have another $4,000 bill coming
- I applied to college for the Spring semester
- We have DSL again!
- I messed up my muffler, my corolla now sounds like a motorcycle
- All the stress had convened @ one point and my body reacted by giving me a HUGE rash, on my face
- One of my bank accounts was wiped out, that was my emergency money just in case I had lost my job
- The wiping out has A LOT to do w/the 6k debt
- I was quoted in the NY times and subsequently mocked on a reality TeeVee blog
- I am solidly over 200lbs, @ last count it was 204
- I have spent 12 Fridays telling myself I will start fresh on Monday
- 12 Mondays went by and I did nothing
- I went thru a huge depression where all I remember was everything looked black and hazy
- I think I feel better now
- I think that about sums up all I wanted to write about @ some point or another.
Tomorrow I'll post about where I'm going...
