Oh, thank god...

Been a great day. Payday yesterday meant I could turn my phone back on, make my car and student loan payments, and buy some much needed groceries. As a bonus, when I came into work and checked my bank account today, I found that Los Federales had deposited my income tax return! This means I can get some stuff that wasn't absolutely necessary for basic survival, but that I still needed anyway. You know, things like bedsheets, my own towels (thanks for the loan, Norma! I'll wash it before I bring it back!), a microwave, a vacuum cleaner, pots, pans, dishes, glasses, silverware, a shelf for my TV.... You know, optional stuff like that. :)

 

Oh! It also means that I can get my own intarweb. So I should be back online regularly within two weeks. That means IM, WoW, movies, music....

 

God...I honestly can't wait!

Dark side of the moon...

No, not the Pink Floyd album. Until Thursday, just pretend I'm an astronaut in the pre-communication satellite era, because I will be unreachable by any means short of telepathy.

 

Yeah, my cell phone got shut off. I miscalculated some of the misinformation I was given about my new plan. Payday's Thursday, so it'll be paid then.

 

So, I guess I'll see you.

Home sweet...

I'm in my new apartment now. It's been costly, this road back to independence, but on Sunday, looking around at all my books in their places, wearing clean clothes and eating pot noodles, I figured that it was worth it.

 

I've had to sell a bunch of stuff, but as a very wise woman once said to me when I was using returning her stuff to her as an excuse to see her one last time, "Fuck it, John, it's only stuff."

 

Indeed.

Incommunicado!

Hello, all. Just a quick note to let you know that, despite some issues (don't people fucking clean their apartments before they move out any more? Jesus Christ!), I am moving into my new apartment today! Yay, me!

The drawback to this is that I will be incommunicado for a few weeks, at least as far as webby access goes. I will not be getting my DSL turned on at my apartment until my tax returns arrive (hopefully soon, but no guarantee), which will limit my access to the computers at work, my phone and computers I might use during visits to my brother's house or the library. In all likelihood, I will be able to receive communications, but won't really be sending them. So expect very few emails and next to no posts.

My cell phone, as always, remains functional, so those of you who I've deemed worthy of my cell phone number are free (and encouraged!) to call me.

So, anyway, take care, wish me luck and expect me back soonest!
