well, i finally got in to the pain doc, and he put me on methodone, and yes i am flying high. but the good news is that its working, i don't hurt!!!! i feel like throwing a party. i just can't drive until i'm used to it, or drink alcohol, and i can't stand up fast or i faint, but i'm not in pain.
i'm over the job loss thing. i didn't wanna go back there anyway, and now i'm free to find a part time gig so i can go to school.
life at home is not fun right now. dad got his last disability check and social security takes 4-6 months to kick in. he passed his state boards, so he's a licensed real estate agent but even if he sold a house today it would be 2-3 months for the commission check. so we are once again in 'will we pay rent' limbo. we shall persevere. we always do, its my prof god exists. anyways he's gonna get back on unemployment, and my next check is gonna be large enough to help. we might have to deal with no cable, but that never killed anybody. we've got two huge dressers full of movies that we never watch. and video games.
i'm learning to crochet doilies, which sounds mundane but they are pretty and i've always wanted to learn. if i can master it, i can go to michaels and teach a class on it. my little bro's gf, who was annoying at first but she's now growing on me, told me that if they sign you on as a teacher you get to make your own price for classes. i think it would be fun to teach others to craft. not my jewelry though, thats mine and i'm not sharing. i can't sell the stuff eventually if everyone knows how to make it themselves.
our vacation had to be canceled which sucks, but now that we're gonna be here people are coming out of the woodwork. my cousins, who've maintained radio silence for almost a year, have invited us for friday. we're going up to big bear on saturday to visit my mrs. pfieffer, who we haven't seen since monsignor's funeral last year. and my cousin is home from ny where she's in school and i've got all day sunday with her! i'm really excited about my couz, she has this thing for blue ducks. its close to my thing for penguins, but unlike penguins which you can find if you look hard, its nearly impossible to find blue ducks! i've been looking for two years and i only recently found a light up key chain and a bath ducky. why couldn't she like elephants or something easy?
so, to wrap up, i'm drugged but not in pain, short on money but will squeeze through, stuck at home for the holiday but not lonely. so life's good other than missing my peeps ;p
