State O' the Weirdlet
Oct. 2nd, 2010 12:05 amSo, been an exciting few days. Many of my friends, online and in real life, are having a tough time, but most are keeping up good hope and some are even getting their second chances. I'm just stuck wishing for third chances for some of my best friends, who keep getting screwed, and trying to help where and how I can.
I've been getting by in a sort of minimalist way, but feeling generally good, and certainly better than I was. T'other day, I got a callback for a bakery position from a store I applied to a year ago, and have an interview next week- then earlier this evening, a nice young man came to the door and served us papers to appear in foreclosure court.
Yeah.
So- I'm not having the breakdown I thought I would, but then again- things have been getting a lot less tense. Dad's getting better physically and mentally, which means that when and if it comes time to leave, he may not be as difficult as he promised to be while in the midst of pain, illness, medication, and sucky blood-oxygen levels (God bless the B-PAP machine). Even so, there are still some options left, and if those fail, then there's still options. We can and will get through this, and we'll see if anyone loses any pieces.
Just kind of one of those- 'well, here I am' moments in time.
All that said, I am looking forward to How to Train Your Dragon coming out on DVD, I'm deeply enjoying the fic for Dragon Age: Origins (so much funny, so much tragic, so much hot, and oh Zevran), and my cats keep double-teaming me for lying-on-and-purring.
