The weather here is insane. I thought it was crazy in Boston. Um, no. So I took a nap this afternoon shortly after I woke up this morning, and when I fell asleep it was about 85 degrees out. Then, an hour later, I was awoken by a hailstorm. Thunder and lightning and a flooded street for about half an hour. Then it was done, had moved on. Now ( Read more... )

So I finally did my taxes, and if I did them correctly, I should be getting over $400 back. (I calculated that I should be getting $200-some from Mass., but they told me I was wrong last year and sent me a check for $20, so I'm not counting on that,) but apparently I've been putting too many withholdings on my W-4s or whatever. I think I may keep ( Read more... )

I still haven't done my taxes...hahaha. Point fingers and throw cabbage. Hopefully it won't take me too long and I can do them between 7:30 and whenever the post office closes tonight since I have to go get my food handler's permit. The health dept. came and I got in trouble, kinda. Apparently I was supposed to have it before I started handing ( Read more... )

I think Ed and I might actually go out on a date tonight. Now, instead of helping him with math, I will be contributing to his lack of homework finished. Oh well.

Tonight's session has been accompanied by meatballs and broccoli and rice. I don't think I've been as patient, either. I kind of just want to do it all instead of explaining how to do it. They mostly get it, just make some mistakes and so I find them and jump and point or something ( Read more... )

Ed and Sean are doing math, and I'm here to help...although I think they understand what they're doing now for the most part. It is fun! I don't think they're quite so enthusiastic about it, though. Considering the hour, I suppose that makes sense. Tutoring mode turned on and I think Ed will soon be ready to stop asking for my help...but I hope ( Read more... )

In Oklahoma. And I live here. Bizarre. Still no job, but I should hear back from Starbucks tomorrow. My apartment is cute but not very decorated yet. I really like having my own place. I feel like a real person or something...except for the fact that I have no current occupation. Oh well, I'm sure it will come, hopefully in time to pay the ( Read more... )

I avoid things I'm afraid will hurt or be hard. Like opening mail from the hospitals and places I went to before my surgery. I'm so afraid they'll be telling me they're sending me to a collection agency, I've avoided opening them. (Which I know is a very stupid move, and I hadn't actually admitted that to anyone until tonight.) My mom made me ( Read more... )

It's official. On my own I was approved for an apartment, which is this big deal to me even though pretty much everyone my age has signed a lease at some point in their life already. Well, I haven't yet, so I'm excited. Yay. I'm moving in the 13th of March ( Read more... )

I am being encouraged from all sides on my move. It is a good feeling. I'm getting so excited! The apartment complex still hasn't gotten back to me, but my mom said she'd cosign, so I think I'll call tomorrow and offer that, since I don't have proof of a job waiting for me there yet. Hopefully they'll accept that between my mother and myself, ( Read more... )
