Oh my lawd!...I've been wanting to write for a long time, but I can never find the time. I really don't have time right now, but I'm sacrificing something more important so that I can get this out of my system. Plus, I just really don't feel like doing homework right now.
Guess what I got to do Tuesday (6/14/11)? DRIVE MY CAR!!! I got it back from the shop that night. It's amazing. It's still old, beaten, and battered...it's still mine though! AND NOW IT RUNS!!! I'm super excited. Tonight, Heather and I took it to a car wash and cleaned it out. There was quite a bit of trash and whatnot in there. Then she vacuumed it and washed it and put polish on it and sprayed it with a spot-free rinse! It's rusty in places, dented up in places, missing paint in places....but the spots that don't fall into any of those catagories are shiney!
All in all, it recieved a new (used, but new to us) motor, a new clutch, lots of new gaskets and whatnot, fresh coolant, oil, fuel pump, and a full tank of gas. Now I'm going to slowly start to take care of all the other mechanical crap it needs. I know it'll need a tire rod soon and I'll find out what else when I have the money to actually get it done. Once I'm confident that it's in almost perfect condition under the hood, I'm going to focus on cosmetic stuff. Eventually I want new carpeting, new seat coverings, dents popped out, and a paint job. This will be a very long process, but someday I'll have a bad-ass car!
I've got exciting news in another area of my life too, but I'm going to keep that hush-hush for a bit longer. I never know who's reading this and there are certain people that don't need to find out this very sensitive information right now.
I'm behind in school again. Go figure. It's not too terribly bad, though. I have 5 problems due Monday night and I haven't started yet. 5 problems may not sound like much, but this is statistics. 1 problem takes an hour to do and takes up a whole fucking page! I'll get it done. Before Monday evening.
I was ecstatic to learn that Deathly Hallows pt. 2 tickets went on sale yesterday. Unfortunately, not finding out about it until today means I lost the opportunity to get tickets to the midnight show, which means I don't even want to buy tickets in advance. I'll just wait until the middle of the week or something when I know tickets won't be sold out. I was even counting down the days. No need now. :-(
I'm worried about the kids. I haven't seen them much lately and it's killing me. I went to pick them up today just to drop them off somewhere else. They didn't want to stay there. They both cried and wanted to come home with me, which, of course, made me cry too. Baileigh doesn't seem as affected by it as Jacob. That kid breaks my heart. He's so...I don't even know. I'm just really worried. They need me. I need them. And we don't get enough time together. I hate it. hate it hate it hate it!
Jacob is out of his medicine. William said he's going to call to see if Edith will call in a new prescription for him, but I know she won't without him going in for a visit because his meds are controlled substances. I'm not really sure what that means, other than they can be sold as street drugs. The Adderall is an amphetamine. High dollar stuff to a junkie, I guess. The problem is we still have a balance at EFC where Edith is, so they won't set him an appointment without a payment. The balance is $380 and there's a $52 co-pay per visit. So we would probably need to make a $150 payment on the balance plus the co-pay. I don't have $200.
I had every intention of paying that off when I got my school money, but I had to pay other doctor bills that were going to collections agencies and would affect my credit and whatnot. At least EFC is lenient as far as that goes, but I know they want their money too. I guess I should call tomorrow and see what the minimum I can pay is. I get paid next Friday and I only have 2 bills due. That should leave me with about $100 that I can give to EFC.
I'm suddenly very sleepy. I haven't been sleeping worth a shit lately. I even got up last night and went to the couch, hoping I'd be more comfortable. No such luck, though. I'm gonna get off of here and go to bed. Nighty-night!
