Tired of bills.

[per_solo]

Spring Break is over. Woohoo. :-) Working on a presentation on Attrition for a law class.

Am freaking a tad. the good news is that Crystal started her new job today. The bad? I'm running numbers...we have approximately 830 bucks...450 of that will go to rent on the 1st. Then after that comes both insurance and phone.

Crys' first check should come within 2 or 3 weeks..I think 3 at the most. So trying to figure how we do this is...rough. I finally just asked family for cash for my birthday, to keep us moving forward. I'll make it up to myself sometime. Hell, technically the Degree is that, to some degree at least.

Her family is crazy..and shit just keeps coming up with them. Still, I should be happy that it's not as bad as when her brother would pull shit on her while I was in the middle of finals and she had other things to worry about. Gotta love that great sense of timing. :-P But yeah, that chaos and drama is still happening to a greater or lesser degree. And really, it's stupid little piddly bullshit things. Given the fact that her family seems to not give a shit what they do to her, and only seem to be able to think of themselves, I'm kind of amazed she's not written them off. But, she cares. That's not necessarily good, or bad, it just means precaution needs to be taken. I will admit, she has one brother who is actually a good guy..and quite worth a damn. Kinda makes up for the tool.

Ramen stir-fry two days in a row. And Ramen works better than Cup O' Noodles. ;-) This week feels SO packed. Presentation tomorrow, papers due by end of week (Stats homework, and a case study for Global Tourism), and I need to schedule my classes tomorrow. The good? This will be the last time I do this for a good, long while (if I ever go back to school after this, we'll see). Summer, and Fall..and that's it. The good about the presentation tomorrow? It gets it out of the way..these presentations are going to be going til the end of the semester..and tomorrow is the first day to do them. I wanted mine out of the way.

Had a good friend offer to pay for Crys and I to go to Marcon this year...unfortunately, that's end of May..I don't know if we'll be able to go, but he offered us admission, and crash space at his house. Tis kinda nice to have friends like that. I'd still love to figure out how to make it to SDCC. Maybe...we'll see.

And that's it for now. If anyone wants to give me winning powerball numbers (I don't need 20 million...I think I could make everything balance for a lot less than that), send em my way. I'm still amused that I've never pimped my Paypal account for donations here..at least, not that I can recall. Then again, I may go looking for One Red Paperclip. ;-)

Have a great day.

Sometimes we will take ramen noodles (since it's the seasoning that's bad for you, really), frozen mixed veggies (heated on the stove of course) and mix it all up with a little lemon pepper (and throw out the seasoning). it's way good!

[per_solo]

I tend to not use the seasoning, take the ramen, frozen veggies, and a can of chicken. Makes a wonderful meal. :-)

I totally do this, only I crack an egg in while cooking to make it sort of like fried rice. Yummm.

[per_solo]

I thought about trying that today. As is, I'm thinking of saving some of the eggs, spending a little money to get sausage, and making scotch eggs again. Those last for several days, and still taste good..hot or cold. :-)

[echoweaver.livejournal.com]

I have never attempted to make scotch eggs. Do you have a recipe link perchance?

That's the one I use, though I don't tend to have some of the spices, so I tend to improvise a little.

I hadn't caught that Crys got a new job. Wow, that's huge. I wish I could somehow open up my current umbrella of financial security to make space for both of you underneath. As far as I can tell, you're doing almost everything right. You deserve an end to this kind of stress. Hey, if I were actually going to BE at Marcon, I'd make the same offer, b/c I think you guys could use the vacation.

[per_solo]

*hugs* Thanks. I do appreciate it...I'm just...tired, really. I realize I've got plenty to do (like doing school work all this week), but it'd be nice to have a bit of a vacation.

The happy thoughts are very much appreciated. And I think that's a part of what gets me...so many people would help, if they could, but everyone I know is in some degree of stressful chaos. And, if I hit the lottery, I'd be helping everyone. :-) Just how I roll.

[echoweaver.livejournal.com]

I know you'd be helping everyone if you had anything to offer. You've always been like that, and I really admire it.

I think the truth is that, as much as we all care, none of us can take this stress away from you. And if you won the lottery, you wouldn't be able to take away as much stress from your loved ones as your heart would dictate either.

So all I can do is say I believe in you, and I believe your stress is going to end.

Damned accurate and a fair point. And thanks. *HUGS*

I thought for a moment about giving you the Lost numbers for the lotto... and then thought...

NAH!

*giggle*

[per_solo]

I actually played those numbers a few years ago (much like everyone else apparently at the time).

"The number are bad, THE NUMBERS ARE BAD!!"
