I HATE WAITING!
You are probably wondering what the h-e-double hockey sticks I am talking about. I am not even sure what I am talking about today so let me just list out some current things in my life.
- I got a job! YAY! I know I should be falling down happy but it's downtown, which means a bus and a light rail ride to get to work and then home again. I start training tomorrow on Sunday, lucky for me D is giving me a ride.
- To start said training for afore mentioned job I must have a valid ID and social security card or birth certificate. Well, my purse was stolen and I don't have the $22.00 for a new copy of my ID since I don't have a job and my social security card was also in the stolen purse. Trust me I am aware you should never keep your social security card in your wallet, or your child's as in my stupid case. SO, I must begin crucial hunt for birth certificate which I know is SOMEwhere around here.
- The pantry is slim pickings because I missed out on a grocery trip on Thursday. Can't go back until Tuesday. I don't need a lot but there is nothing worse than a teenager who can't find anything to eat and is in the same pantry every fifteen minutes out of boredom yelling about not being able to find anything to eat.
- It is on my list to apply for food stamps, normally we don't need them however it's been two months of money straight to bills. We are really drawing on reserves so I must apply for the help whether I like to or not. The problem with this also relates to problem number two, valid ID and social security. I would get the help I need if I had the cards, I would have the cards if I had the money for the cards, I would have the money if I had a job!!
- Over the past five years or more of living in my apartment the landlord has been called about the running tub faucet. The hot water knob constantly breaks as the drip gets continually worsens and we try to tighten it as much as possible. For you see, the hot water causes humidity in the bathroom which has caused mold. I could leave the bathroom door open but the sound of the running faucet causes gigantic painful spasms in my brain to occur. So, I shut the door and open the little window and then someone else in this apartment *not mentioning who* shuts the window. Hot water, hot bathroom, hot stinky mold. Why doesn't the landlord fix it? He has sent repairmen *I use the term loosely* in the past, they replace the knob and always insist they can't find a rubber ring for replacement. Which means, the drip will be lessened and will eventually run like the Everglades which I would like to jump off of once this occurs.
- I finally received my paperwork for unemployment. Thank God.
- Oliver the cat is driving me batty. His need for constant attention and supervision has reached paramount. Plus, there is a certain someone who when he visits babies him and only encourages Olivers kitten-like behavior. At four months old, I am trying to teach Oliver to play on his own and to NOT cry when I insist on using the bathroom withOUT him. His obsession for knocking over my water glass is salt in the wound.
- I have been on a sincere effort to lose weight and have just a couple of pounds but still noticeable. I have such a looooong way to go. I am size 11 (juniors) and I am keeping my size 5 (juniors) out for inspiration.
Everything is SO close to going back to normal which I desperately need and yet it seems so far away and impossible to make happen. I feel like I am constantly trying to shove square pegs in round holes. It's as if nothing is right and everything is wrong. I know it's not, I don't mean to be so negative. I just hope that at some point today I don't turn into a crazed cat killing mad woman marching down the street with tissue boxes on my feet as shoes. *Sigh*
