things about stuff... stuff about things...

Can you believe it’s April already? As of April 1st, I’ve been in the apartment and out of my parents’ house for 6 months. If I was still in high school, I’d be celebrating my six monthiversary. Lame... lol... That reminds me of an episode of "Will and Grace," when Jack was celebrating his two weekiversary with one of his random boy toys. Anyway, I’m not 16... thank God... so I’ll stop counting months.

Aside from the stuff I blogged about before (water heater, leaks, toilet clogs, noisy neighbors), the apartment is great. Our landlord is here now, replacing the rotting wood over our sink (got all moldy from the water that was leaking). He was supposed to come over last Saturday, but he didn’t. Nor did he call to say he wasn’t coming. Then this morning he showed up around 10:30 AM asking if it was a good time to work on the kitchen. I can’t complain. At least it’s getting done. He’s here with his cousin, and the two of them are talking to each other in another language (still haven’t figured out what it is). Kinda creeps me out. I wanna know what they’re saying.

So apparently April is the month of Many Birthdays. I have something planned every weekend. It’s kind of annoying, cuz I’d like one weekend where I can relax at home and NOT spend money. But I guess I can do that in May.

In other news... I’m job hunting again. The money situation is getting desperate. Without revealing how little I make now, let me just say that I am literally living paycheck to paycheck and it’s not fun. Fortunately, I’m pretty marketable as far as my degrees, certifications and experiences go... so I shouldn’t have too much trouble finding a job in a better paying district. Fingers crossed. I’m also looking for a summer job. Possibly one that doesn’t involve children. It will give me something to do and put a little extra cash in my pocket until I’m financially comfortable again. The thought of working in retail again nauseates me, but it’s probably the most convenient thing if I only want to do some part time work.

Well... I guess that’s all for now. I’m gonna go take a nap to see if I can get rid of this damn sinus headache before I have to go out tonight. Grrrr...
