I was feeling very much like a complete screw-up a little while ago. I woke up about 15 minutes after I should have left for work. I got ready and went out to the car where I found that the battery was dead and there was no where to put Andrea's car to jump it. I came in and kept Andrea company while she got ready for work. Then I started writing a journal entry and ended up spending about an hour and a half on it when my computer crashed and I spend another hour and a half rewriting the 90% that I'd copied to a text file as back up but didnt' save. Despite the fact that I mainly wrote things that I needed to write to clear my brain out, I feel rather stupid for spending three hours on a private entry.

Then I got my battery and walked to K-Mart where they didn't have a battery tester OR the correct battery. I walked further to the nearest service station where they told me that their tester said 'charge and test again' and that they didn't know whether the battery was bad or not and I should charge it before getting another one. I was immensley frustrated as I walked back into the apartment feeling like I've wasted my whole day. And that's just today and isn't really the source of most of my conern right now anyway. *sigh*

Then I spent a while going through The Ferret's writings and his livejournal and found many things that I connected oddly and strongly with and that made me think alot and that calmed me down. I am calm enough to realize that I have a while here and that, whatever problems I'm having, I can at least get a little organized and clean the fridge and pack ebay like I'm supposed to do. That would be good. The puppy's brain really doesn't work well at all sometimes...

I just realized how woefully behind I am right now on ebay shipping. Gotta get caught up on that tonight. I feel good about having gotten some stuff done though. The fridge is all clean and I bought a battery charger which is now feeding juice into my dead battery as it sits out on the balcony. Now I'm working on checking and ebay accounting.

Good news today too! My loan application was accepted and I'm going to New Horizons after work tomorrow to fill out my enrollment paperwork. Plus, I won the $1000 scholarship that was randomly awarded to one of the people who attended the seminar I went to a few weeks ago! Of course, there were only three of us there, but that's still wonderful. I feel as though it's a good omen. Now I just have to decide whether I want to take a 1000 dollars from the loan and send it right back, or just pocket it for expenses/emergencies. I'm actually leaning toward keeping it, but I'll talk to my sweetie and see what she thinks.

I just had to write 'cause I'm all excited. I can't wait to start school.
