A weight off my shoulders...
May. 2nd, 2012 02:55 amSo. Good things.
Electric got sorted. Need to call about PIPP in regards to that, as well.
Insurance get for the car. We were going to wait, but it was both a necessity and cheap.
Rent paid...tomorrow. At least, the remainder of last month's.
Internet paid on. Need to pay the rest of the bill when we get our refund.
I'm back at work. Forty-five hours this week, which will mean a nice paycheck the week after next. It's running me ragged, but I'm surviving. The biggest issue was I was entirely nocturnal for a long time there, so having to flip my schedule so quickly means I'm almost nothing but tired now. I've been sleeping a lot because of it, to make up for lost time.
I have to do my art final, as well as catch up on any of the discussion boards I missed, which I think is just two of them. The internet has been a raging cunt the last couple days. It just doesn't want to stay up for more than twenty minutes or so - probably less. I'll need to have someone come up, but until then I'll probably have to take my laptop up to campus to finish up my work.
Potentially Bad Things.
Something on the car is making a clanking/grinding noise. We're pretty sure it has to do with the drive shaft or the axle or something in that vein due to the noise only happening when we have to turn the wheels heavily. Like backing out of the driveway or stuff like that. We're not sure exactly WHAT the issue is, but we're worried what a repair is going to run us.
We had to do our interm report for our food stamps this month. It's generally every six months so they can update your case and see if anything has changed (like a move or new household members). We got it at the beginning of the month and I set it on my desk to take care of ASAP, but between all the stuff that happened, it slipped under the radar. I was walking back from Walgreens a few days ago when it dawned on me that it never got sent out before the deadline. So I rushed to get it filled out and mailed off, even sending an explanation along with it.
Worst case scenario with it: we have to re-apply for food stamps. Best case scenario: we don't have to do anything. I'm currently unsure if our EBT card will be getting loaded on the 3rd, however. There's a load authorization on it already, from the 20th, but things could have changed... I guess we'll find out at midnight on the 3rd.
Tony bought me flowers today~ Also, two McMuffins, which was pretty awesome and probably the reason I wanted to crawl under a counter and fall asleep at work all day today.
Also, I have a Statigram, if folks want to look at my dumb attempts at ~~photography~~ and stupid pictures of my cats.
Recently, I discovered Dry The River (I recommend Weights and Measures and Bible Belt) and Walk The Moon (reccomendations are Anna Sun and Next In Line). The former via Spotify and the latter from Flashfest a few weeks ago. I also saw Third Eye Blind at Flashfest and, while I was hoping for a few more of their older songs, they did play Jumper and that was pretty awesome. Flashfest is always fun when they do the free outdoor concert deal.
We saw Rasputina and Daniel Knox (who is also an awesome musician) back around my birthday. It wasn't as enthralling of a concert as my first one lat year, but Rasputina never fails to play a good show. The reason the night was a bit of a disappointment were some of the people there. Specifically, this girl who kept stomping ridiculously loud on the wood floors of the ballroom. It was so distracting because she was standing RIGHT NEXT to us and flailing around wildly. I had to keep an side eye on her just because she was so goddamn obnoxious.
Rasputina also didn't play as many of my favorites as they did the first time, but I can't expect all the songs I love every time I see a band I like. But they did Holocaust of Giants, Hunter's Kiss, a cover of I Want You To Want Me, and In Old Yellowcake.
I've gotta get down sketches for some commissions. I haven't been drawing or writing much in the last month. April was just brutal all around, unfortunately.
Now, however, I should take the garbage out and get some sleep before work.
