It's been an interesting few weeks.

I haven't been working much, due to my knee issues.  Still have not been in to see the specialist, but I will be doing that next week.  Been waiting to get the money so I can actually be taken care of.  Not having health insurance is a bitch.

Not having cash around because I haven't been working due to my DISLOCATED knee, even more of a bitch.

The fact that it took the two emergency room and one other visit to the specialist for them to figure out a dislocation was the problem in the first place....fucking nonsense. Luckily my tax return finally came in so I didn't get kicked out of my apartment.  My roommate would have likely had to go back to Nebraska, which he would have hated, and I would have had to go back to Cali, which I would have hated more.  I would move back to Nebraska before I moved back to Cali. Serious shit.

Anyhow, that issue resolved, now it's time to keep working on this bad knee so I can finish out this lease and move somewhere else.  This apartment was okay for the transition time I've spent here since leaving (albeit temporarily) Omaha, but it's time to find a new place. Sick of all the DV going on here constantly, the meth heads that live downstairs, blah blah.

Time to find a new apartment, will start looking as soon as I get this damn knee fixed.  It really is holding me up and causing nothing but misery right now.

I also plan on getting a second job.  I spend a lot of my time remembering the days when I had two full-time jobs and I never had to worry about things like getting behind in the rent if I had/wanted to take a few days off for whatever reason.  I miss being able to go on vacation whenever I want, to wherever I want and know that I have money in the bank when I get home.

Being in this situation is pretty much my own fault though.

I have spent most of my life (and apparently have not broken this habit) doing for everyone else.  Putting my life on hold to accommodate the needs of the ones I love. I know some people would consider this non-beneficial behavior, but what can I say?

It's just who I am, and I wouldn't change it for the world.

So I will do what I know.  I will get a second job and spend what time I don't spend on homework, working.  I will pay off what few debts I have, I will get a car again, FINALLY (it's time lol) and I will get my comfy life back.

The nice thing for me is I don't require much.  As long as I can go to my concerts, buy my comics and music, I'm good.

Next quarter will see me back on campus, in the field of study I actually wanted to really be in.  Well, second, I already have a degree for the first (for all the good it's done me).  Can't wait for that. I'm applying for management at Wendy's, maybe they can find me a location close to the school, and that would be the best excuse ever to move into the Seattle area, which is where I really want to be.  Work and personal wise, it would be ideal, as that is where most of my best friends (my true family) live.

Now off to do some homework, hopefully, if I can stop being distracted by bad kitties and a bored roommate.

Cheers!!
