tales from the crypt
i haven't written in forever. sorry about that.
news - we've moved. we like the new apartment. it takes me between 30-45 minutes to get to work every day (and then again to get home) which isn't as bad as i thought it would be, so that's a good thing. i was banking on an hour at least. we have found a walmart and some restraunts around the area where we live now that aren't bad. nothing as good as china jade yet, but we're still testing out chinese places in the area to find one. and there are BUNCHES of chinese places, so i'm sure we'll find one eventually.
the kitty had adjusted just fine and dandy. in fact, i think there was no adjustment, because she was running around and happy the moment we put her in the new apartment. no accidents. she's an angel with the litter box and things like that. she tries to jump on the shower curtain which has lead to me closing the bedroom door when we aren't home, but other than that she's great. she does bite a lot though. i hope she grows out of her kitten-chew-on-everything stage pretty soon - i've got quite a few wounds because of it so far. she's adorable when she chases her own tail. i thought only dogs did that.
work sucks. we're having cash flow problems which puts undue stress on me when i have to explain to people why an order wasn't delivered when it was supposed to be. customers don't like hearing, "oh, it's because we have invoices that are 60 days overdue!" i'm going to try to look for something in the irving/euless/bedford area soon so that i can be closer to home and have a little more job security. besides, being a secretary is not what i want to do for the rest of my life. of course, now that i say that the new job i'll get offered will be for a secretary. woot.
money is tight at home. rent was a close thing this month, with the moving expenses and such. we really need the reimbursement from the moving expenses and we'll be fine, but right now we're stretching to make things work. we had the movers to pay, the cable hookup in the new apartment to pay, the reletting fee at the old apartment to pay, the new washer and dryer to pay... you get the idea. we didn't have nearly enough saved up to cover it all. nevermind that i kept telling daniel we were going to need to save more. nevermind at all. *sigh* sometimes i just wish he'd LISTEN to me. and i sure as hell wish he'd shut up about wanting an x-box 360. he's been saying it for the last couple of months just to get me worked up.. and it's working. i'm fucking pissed every time i hear it now.
i really want to paint. or draw, or sew, or write. it's itching at the inside of my skull and along the palms of my hands and i just CAN'T. i have way too much to do and a job and unpacking and a wedding to plan. and it's sad. i wish i could do some of the things i want to.
that's my status. no akon for us, i'm afraid. too much money owed to too many people and i'm already in the red in my bank account, i'm afraid. if only money didn't exist. my life would be better and simpler.
