And life goes on...
I am not great, but am okay.
We still have one car in the shop for repairs, and household tensions tend to run high as there are just too many people living in the house. We let a friend and her son rent out the spare room because they had been living in Fresno and her girlfriend at the time beat the crap out of her and her roommate kicked her out when she told her she was thinking of moving back to the bay area (all this in the same week). The two gay boys who rent the master room complain about everything, and use everyone's stuff without asking, and then say they are being picked on when it is pointed out. We've had to start labelling things, and are learning to just ignore their whining, as it seems to mostly be a hobby rather than legitimate complaints. And the other pair of roommates have their three kids coming to visit next week, and they are supposed to be here for about a month. So it is going to be more crowded, and everyone is still adjusting to each other and stressed out. Makes everyone on edge.
Boo started her internship this week also, so I am lucky if I see her at all. She is only home now for maybe five hours all together, and usually sleeping for it since she is working herself ragged.
I was hoping to start classes in the fall with a distance program through Prescott College, as they have the exact combination of degrees that I want to work toward, but with finances as they are, I doubt I will be able to begin this year.
A friend I only knew online, but had offered up her home on our Vermont trip should we be in the area and wanted to drop by, died early yesterday. She'd been hospitalized for asthma, and they'd sucked a massive blood clot and lots of flem from her lungs, over the weekend. She had seemed to be recovering well, but when they began to wean her from the meds keeping her unconscious they found bleeding in her brain that could not be treated and she never woke up. They waited until the family was present yesterday before removing her from the life support. She was in her late fourties, and was a kind and generous spirit. I wish I'd had the chance to meet her in person...
I have been hired part time as an inspector for boats at the county lakes. I start training tomorrow, but it is only going to be two days a week to start. I might have an evening care giver gig for a couple hours during the evenings. I am still on call for Santa Cruz county to sub for their special ed instructional aides. But on the bright side, the house is looking cleaner and more organized and more boxes have been unpacked and gone through. :)
