Whining ahead. Skip if you want. I did change my design though; if you read elsewhere, check it out and let me know what you think.
So I haven’t been posting lately. I haven’t even been doing very much, I guess. Just kind of hanging out at home. I’ve been depressed over money. Yeah, I bought a new phone (Samsung Vibrant), but other than that I am doing things like learning how to cook so I can save money (frozen dinners are expensive) and not going out or other places or anything like that. I don’t even know how to say it. I’m just having a really hard time financially. I only have about $800 to my name, I guess. The $500-900 for my fillings (Sept 15th) is going to come from my wife. Paying off my $1300 credit card bill came from my wife, she doesn’t like me to pay the minimum, she believes in paying it off in full. I got $3500 from Gallaudet for tuition, so I guess that is going to leave me with about $2500 to pay myself? I don’t know. That will come from my wife, too. I am going to try to pay for my meds myself, but my wife says I shouldn’t cut back on them, so I might need to borrow from her for that, too. It’s amazing how much money I have borrowed from her. All the money I got at the NAD Conference went to Japan. I have written up a thing about how I spent about $7000 total on the trip and Gallaudet only gave me $2000. So I’m hoping they’ll find it in their hearts to give me a little more. I plan to appeal directly to the president’s office.
So anyway, I have been feeling some major depression because of this. I don’t want to do anything much. Including reading; I downloaded The Force Is Middling In This One by (author of the wonderful Mercury Falls) and it’s funny, but I just haven’t been in the mood to read it. I have been playing Bioshock 2 a bit, because it is deliciously engrossing, but that’s just about it. So, there. That’s where I’ve been at.
Edit: Okay, I read some more of that book, and I was actually cracking up the whole time. Mr. Kroese is hilarious, people.
I like the new layout!!
The whole money thing sucks…I’m in a similar situation, although not nearly as difficult as yours. And I know that there really isn’t much one can say to make it better, but the memories and experience you had will be worth the money someday.
It is good you were able to read the new book and get enjoyment from it, I hope you can continue to do so.
I know it’s frustrating, but having a place to vent is good for you. Don’t think of it as whining, think of it as helping to empty your mind and keep you healthy. Anyone who thinks otherwise can…yeah.
Love the new layout, by the way!
I am sorry to hear about your money woes. You obviously a good writer and like to write, there are lots of places on the net where you can make some extra money by writing good articles.. that might be an options, the n et is great for uncovering ways to make extra money…
Money is evil as we all know about it. Human naturally don’t need money to be happy and happiness is not from external sources but inside us.
Just don’t get depressed over money because money can’t buy happiness.
