Well, kids, I don’t know what’s up with me but all weekend I’ve been under attack by something — I have the achy sinuses and the weirded-out innards, but not the fever. It could be I’m allergic to something. Possibly to being jobless and broke. It doesn’t help much that I had to take the older cat to the vet this past week — there went almost a hundred bucks. (She’s fine — just old and afflicted with thyroid disease.) As for the job situation, I found out from some friends that I’m not alone — even supermarket cashier jobs are hard to find. This doesn’t make my backup plan to apply at Publix much of a backup plan. As it stands I am not planning to re-sign the lease on this place. I am hoping to make it to the end of my lease, which is April 30. I’m not sure I’ll make it that far, but I don’t have much choice — I don’t have a job, so getting a new place won’t be easy. (Does unemployment count as “real” income? Urgh.) Anyway, I am going to be lowering my sights for my next place of residence: I’m going to be looking for a one-room studio or even converted garage-type room. All I require is my own entrance, bathroom (I’ll even accept a shower-only bathroom; I used to hold out for a full bath, but I don’t take many baths these days), and some sort of kitchenette with its own sink. I can deal with a small fridge — I find the huge honking things all apartments have to be too large anyway, mine is never even half full. And I don’t need a dishwasher — I have hands. Oh yeah — and whatever the place is must accept two cats. I’ll have to sell or store most of my furniture, but such is life.
Anyway, those are my life plans so far. I hope I’ll have a job by move-out time; otherwise I’m not sure what I’ll do. (PS: any donations to the links to the right will be much appreciated, etc.)
