Well, my plans seem to keep slightly altering...
If you guys dont remember, last year i talked about moving to Boston.
Then me and the person close to me came to the conclusion that we'd never be able to afford boston. Now were moving to Pittsburgh.

This time the plans have changed in the financial area. we originally planned on saving up 1500 before moving. Now were planning on saving up 2000 to 2500 so we have enough "rainy day" funds available in case of emergency or problems with bills (aka: a "rainy day"). 2000 - 2500 should be enough for 3 - 4 months expenses.

... well i really should say "they" planned on saving, since i currently am w/o a job. Though i may be getting a job as a waiter. There's this little cafe in town 15 minutes from here that my dad knows the owners. They have, in the past, hired older teens & adults to wait for tips (aka: no steady paycheck.). My dad said he'd talk with the owners and see if they had an availability for a waiter. (fingers crossed on whether he actually follows through and/or remembers to talk to them.) Also, chances have been lowered, since the owners are in the process of switching managers. The managers that the owners originally hired packed up and left town for some unknown reason. So it may be dependent on the new manager(s). And if they say no in such a case, then im out of luck.

So if i get the job, me and that person close to me will be put "that much closer" to moving. The original plan was February, but i let them know that i dont mind if i have to wait an extra 2 - 4 weeks for us to move. (They were talking about getting extra shifts and overworking themselves at the job they already hate, are overworked at, mistreated, and underpaid at. I said i wouldnt allow them to work themselves to death at a miserable job just to make me happy. I am grown up. I can wait.)

also, i have been enjoying my Windows Phone (anxious for 7.8 ), and have got new headphones (comfy and stylish). c:
Official -tans are my bat signal.

kickass about the phone, headphones, and potential job. sucks that you ruled out boston since the surrounding communities aren't horribly expensive depending on where you go. you even mentioned Nashua, which i can assure you is one of the lowest rent places around, while still being quite safe, especially compared to some other places. Nashua is quite nice, boasting a lovely hospital, great shopping, and a cozy atmosphere. plus social services is right here so in the event you need to go on some form of disability (which don't judge, i know plenty of people who are, including my family in a couple forms), you can just walk right to the office.

that said, i hope pittsburgh works out. it seems like a nice city. and saving up more is always wise.

@pent: you can do it. and remember, don't believe in yourself. believe in me, who believes in you. :3

@Dustii: I hope it works out ^^

@Kari: Thanks :3

So, I'm not 100% sure if I'm ready to go back to work tonight :\
I don't feel like that doctor gave me enough time to heal, yet it feels like everybody disagrees (Yes, some of my strength is coming back. I don't have the energy to last 4 hours, yet it feels like everyone is telling me to go in anyway and "find the strength" (Whatever that means; it feels irrelevant to this situation)). Also, I have to figure out how to go get my paycheck, as I'm *still* not direct deposit after nearly one and a half months (I don't get what's taking so long. Same with hearing back on the dental and vision insurance).

I might try going by work to get my check, and maybe if they see the condition I'm in, they might let me out of working tonight. Worth a shot

EDIT 3: (Condensing the previous rant down)
Had some problems with mom's dog not wanting to come back inside. She's finally back inside

Also, I'm thinking of calling in at work tonight. Just getting my check and some gas really took a lot of energy out of me ~_~
On a lighter note, my truck may have redeemed itself; I put in some fuel injector cleaner, which seems to have eliminated the issues with it dying on me.

Chocofreak13

glad to hear about the truck, and it seems they let you off work, too. so if nothing else, things seem to be going a bit smoother. :\

GothTouch is a bit of a sped. but hopefully he'll catch up.

That's good.

So, today I go back to work. I hope I can manage that 4 hours :\

Also, mom's been extra annoying today >_>

EEEEEEEEEEEEUUUUUUUUUUYYYYYYUUUUGHHHHHHHRHHHHHHHHHHG.

I went to the dentist this afternoon and found out I have to get this massive filling (it takes up 1/5th - 1/4th of my left first molar) redone. On the 28th of January. So not looking forward to that, even if it is 8 years old and pretty much crumbling at this point. :z

Nichi

I hope that goes well :[

Chocofreak13

crumbling? damn girl, either your cavity's huge or your dentist sucks. (and by sucks, i mean is using sucky methods/materials.)

but at least you can HAVE dental work. i'd kill to be in your position right now. :[

Maybe I exaggerate, the filling isn't quite crumbling but it's getting pretty chipped and is close to "separating" from the tooth in places. The original was done ~8 years ago by a dentist of somewhat questionable skill. >>

Still haven't seen a dentist about your tooth problem? :(

Chocofreak13

not yet. but i at least have some numbers. ><;

Get on it soon, these things only get worse and more expensive with time... ;^;

Nichi

Indeed. I plan on going to a dentist whenever the card for my dental\vision insurance finally shows up

One more day.  One day more.

Until I visit Bells that is, and Kari is like, three days more?  It's gonna be a big time in the jungle.  Of New Hampshire.

Also: I watched Moonrise Kingdom with my brother and dad the other day.  That was a good ass movie.

Nichi

Have fun ^^

You know, it'd be nice if someone came to visit me, but given that even I don't want to be where I'm at now, I don't blame anyone for not wanting to come down here :\

Chocofreak13

@stew: 3 more days indeed! means i better get my ass baking. cause, y'know, cookies. you're not allergic to peanut butter, are you?
also, don't spoil a moment of that movie. i cannot tell you how badly i wanted to see that.

@pent: i've often thought about it, but there's nothing in texas i'd like to see, outside of maybe the state fair. austin would be nice, too, i suppose, but i can't think of much else. it's not like california, where i could visit San Jose and see the Winchester House and the US's (or was it World's?) biggest Flea Market, and then cruise down to San Diego (at least i think it was San Diego) and visit Tenshi-no-Sumika. CA also boasts Little Tokyo in Sacremento (or was it LA?), chock full of Japanese products such as makeup and obscure foodstuffs. :3
