happenstance

well, i'm back from all my holiday travels. it all went quite nicely actually. everything just flowed right into the next. it was all so quick that i didn't even much time to over-think much of it at all. ended up spending more money on records in a week than all year (i think). A whole lot of stuff that i've had on my wish list for a good while, plus a few good surprises. But it mostly nice to find a sort of grounding in all the people i managed to see. really most everybody that i keep in touch with. it's too bad some couldn't be closer, or vice versa.

no, i'm still here in my odd, drafty apartment. watching meaningless sitcoms and trying to find the energy to clean the place. a lot of scary stuff to take care of too. mostly having to do with money. i managed to rack up a $1000 worth of medical bills, mostly in one foul swoop. as these things go it was my last day of work and i was asked to play a game or two of basketball with some of the teachers before work. elbow to mouth, four and a half hours waiting in the er, two stiches later and i had myself an odd and expensive end to working full time (for now). so now i've got to try (again) to get medical assistance from the great state of pennsylvania. hopefully food stamps as well. it's just pretty nerve-wracking. i do have some money saved away, but my paranoid dad makes me nervous about how long that might last.

oh, right. i'm taking classes again. full-time. still working at sheetz but that's just 6/hrs a week of cleaning (fun fact: for the holidays they sent me $10 cash! For those who don't know, sheetz is a pretty large chain of convience stores that strech through most of PA and maryland and some of west virginia and virginia. i didn't even get a christmas bonus at my "real" job!?). Anyway, all this promises to leave me with much more energy and too much free time.

the comments section should be back up shortly.
