Good things that happened today:
☆ I received the letter from Service Canada that I need in order to complete the online application for unemployment insurance. It's fucking ridiculous that in this day and age, they make you wait for a code that is mailed to you, rather that completing the entire thing online. Especially in emergency situations like this one, where you have a lot of people who DO NOT HAVE ADDRESSES. I swear, aside from the night we evacuated + the day after, I think the most I cried during this bullshit was when I was trying to fill out my EI stuff and was informed that the information that I needed to complete it would be mailed to a house that I could not return to. (Sea noticed something was wrong... orz how awkward. Sorry, mate.) Anyway. At least I received it. Hopefully when I finish it tomorrow, there will not be any problems.
☆ I also received my tax return. :D So that's another thing that I don't have to worry about any more. (Yes, yes, I'll send in that direct deposit application, sigh. I don't know why I'm mentally stuck in the dark ages.) Time to look up the nearest bank in Sherwood Park, I guess....
☆ But on the subject - even though I'm receiving mail through the forwarding system, I'm going to have to ask you all to remember not to mail anything to me until I'm back in my house and Canada Post is operating in Fort Mac again. We're using this for important mail only right now.
☆ This morning, managed to catch one of Shaeiira's art streams, which is a rare pleasure. I don't always manage to watch them due to time zones - she's in the Philippines - and her wifi isn't great, so she isn't able to do it that often. It's so nice to watch her work.
☆ Had a nice conversation with Starfallz today! About knitting, mostly. <3 I don't go in the SSSS IRC chat all that often, so I don't get that many opportunities to talk to her in real-time, so that was great.
☆ Watched Apartment 1303 with the horror movie gang this evening. What a weird film. It started out pretty decent, but toward the end it seems like it couldn't decide what kind of movie it was going to be, and it started throwing out a bunch of horror tropes at random. ...I'm curious about the remake; I wonder if it's different (or better?).
☆ Wine and potato chips is kind of a weird combination, but I am A-Okay with being weird right now. <3
