I thought I knew debt. I lied. I’m now in over a hundred grand…. but on the bright side, I’ve PURCHASED A CONDO!!!

Just thought I’d share.

So I went to Billings last week for 5 fun-filled nightmarish days. It was a disaster from one end to the other, the only bright side being that yes, come the end of the month, barring some wild and unsavory turn of events with the inspector, mortgage, and/or natural disaster, officially own my very own house, one nobody can just make me leave one day on a whim. Not that anyone ever *has* just kicked me out on a whim before; I’m just sayin’.

That’s the good news. I have a place to live when I move at the end of the month. Bad news? College is a bust. MSU College of Technology is a fucking bitch. They’ve lost my transcripts (more than once), they’ve failed to give me vital information, and now my classes are 100% full with a mile-long waiting list. Their fault, mostly, but I take some responsibility in not having been a little more on top of things and just trusting that everything would work itself out even if they were being incompetent asshats over there.

So, it’s on to a job hunt now. And a lot of therapy knitting. And steroids.

Seriously. I’m on steroids. For hives, of course, because this nightmare involving mortgages and house hunting and college fuckwads kicked my stress (and therefore, my on-again-off-again hives) into overdrive. I just couldn’t take it anymore, and after I told my mother I’d MURDER to get rid of the hives, she and her friend Ella strongarmed me to the doctor for what I thought would be another ass-shot of steroids, but instead is a nice course of prednisone pills. That’ll look real great on any upcoming pre-employment drug tests, no doubt.

1. Oh lord. I was going to ask if it got any better but I am guessing it didn’t! Sorry we didn’t get to catch up more than just at Red Lobster…
   You’ll be here soon!

2. Wow.

   Congrats on the condo, hopefully the excitement of moving in will start to overtake the stress soon. I’m sorry about the college situation and all the stress crap. I hope things ease up soon!
