goodbye wicked little town
Last night after I got off work, I had agreed to give Cory a ride home at midnight. So I had some time to kill, and decided to wander around hastings. I discovered two really spiffy places. 1 was Levee Park, which I obviously already knew about, I just sorta forgot one could go down there. So I drove down there and parked and watched the river. It was nice. Then I looked across the river, up on the bluff there's a couple houses. And so I had this crazy idea to drive up there, and see if there was like, a spot I could park near the cliff and look down on Hastings from. Alas, I got up there and it was all privately owned property, but oh well. The few glimpses I got of the lights below made Hastings seem much more beautiful than it actually feels.
Today my mother told me that beginning in June (or July?), I am going to be getting something like $1500 a month. Through the whole VA/Spina Bifida/Agent Orange thing I guess. It's exciting, for definitely. She told me she has known about it for a while, and didn't tell me about it, so as to make sure I didn't feel a sense of entitlement, and also so I wouldn't just get lazy and feel like I didn't need to work or whatnot. I assured her that I don't think I am capable of feeling entitled. But it's still exciting. With that, I'll at least feel comfortable putting in my two weeks at wal-mart and looking for another job closer to where I wanna be without the fear of starvation. I <3 financial stability.
I also talked to her about my idea of moving to Riverside Plaza. I've mentioned that to her before, and got the feeling she didn't like the idea of that since it's not the nicest neighborhood, etc. This time however, she seemed much more supportive, suggesting that I'd "probably be better off paying rent where [I] wanna be, rather than here". So that was nice.
k bye.
