Notes high and low

To nalidoll: Glad you like the birthday nipples!

To daisydumont: Alleluia! Hee. Oh, the video for "Tongues of Kali" is here. It's a silly song, but someone's gotta do it.


Since I've been so exhausted lately, my plans for last night were to read a little more of the Marie Curie bio and then go to sleep early. Instead, I ended up talking with the newest housemate, another housemate, and the other housemate's guest. Enjoyable conversation with people who are way more laid-back than I'll ever be. The new guy seems very cool, which is a very good thing.

This morning, daisydumont and danalog came to take me to lunch. First time in a few years that I've had Indian food, so that was nice. (They had curried goat. We could have been eating Frank!) Tasty food with excellent company. Much fun!

As if that weren't enough, we all went to a new & used CD store and Ms. Vicki got me some CDs. New music! Well, neither CD was new, but I didn't have them before so that's wonderful enough. daisydumont, you have no idea how grateful I am right now, truly. More fun conversation on the way home where our Daisy managed to resist the urge to sing "Vicki, row your boat ashore" in spite of provocation from both Jeff and me.

Collapsed for a few hours once home (I expected I'd have to after so little sleep and today's excitement), then got up to bring the mail in. Oh joy, notice from my bank letting me know that I was wrong when I thought the partial payment to my doctor had only almost wiped out my bank account--I'd forgotten to subtract the previous month's service fee for not having $1000 in the account at all times, so now there's the overdraft fee subtracted from the money friends sent that I put in there. Other than that lovely note, my dead father got more mail today than I did. No, that's not true: A letter arrived addressed to H. Wolf. Heh.

Before getting online this evening, spoke with one of the people who tried so hard to help me get a job. After I filled him on what's been going on the last couple of months, he's now trying to help me find financial aid instead. So tomorrow I'll be calling some numbers he just gave me, while he'll see what else he can find for me. Let's see how this works out.

you are so very welcome, and our thanks to you for such a fun time. i enjoyed every minute, except when i had my little spasm of anxiety. you're so sweet to put up with me when i get like that. the cd store is fun for me -- hearing George Harrison over the sound system, talking to the clerk with the tattoos and plugs in his earlobes, buying stuff like i belonged there. whee! :)

i'm so glad this friend is going to go to bat for you. i'll be hoping and praying his efforts bring about some results that will make life much easier for you. please keep us posted.

off to watch the music video. thanks! :)

Pfft. I wasn't "putting up with" you--I was enjoying your delightful company.

Hopefully the guy will find somebody who can help. His expertise is actually with helping disabled people figure out where they want to work and get a job, so it's great of him to help with my current problems. Let's hope something comes out of this, and maybe someday he will be able to help me get a paying job. That'd be nice.

i was wrong!

Glad you liked Martyn! That's one musician who clearly is having fun when he mixes his musical styles.
