as always...
life is a mixed bag. I'm amazed at Jesse and his family - not only will he come live with me and help pay utilities & food, but also, his mom will come stay there and watch the house whenever we want to travel. so we might be able to get down to DC to protest at the inauguration, depending on how quickly I can find gainful employment. (and he bought me another birthday present (!) a new red sox hat! most people aren't so thoughtful right in the midst of their car breaking down, getting stranded, etc. he was amazingly sweet about everything!)
over the phone, don gave me some really great tips about working for an elderly couple, and I'm definitely going to use them.
but I am sad that Jesse's car is already having problems - it cost $400 to get it repaired yesterday and I know he is stressing about that - and I felt like a jerk because we both overslept this morning and he'll be late getting to his job today, which possibly might make it a problem for him to find work in Freeport this winter.
at any rate, I need to somehow just relax and feel that everything is going to work out okay. it's just hard for me to do so. I feel so much pressure - damn you, anxiety disorder!
I swear I am really going to pack now. there will be nothing but packing for me for the next two weeks. and I am going to keep my two birthday resolutions, too, darn it.
gah. I wish I had some company. all I want to do is be lazy and listen to music and knit, but I SHALL PACK!
p.s. to lloyd - thankyou-thankyou-thankyou-thankyou-for-everything-you are my best friend.
