there are days when i'm optimistic. when i think, i can take what Fate has in for me, and come out the other side in relatively the same number of pieces and in a decent frame of mind. then the red tape wraps itself around my neck and i step off the edge i hadn't even noticed.
scratching post doesn't seem to be touring right now. i've checked a couple of times, and nothing. *sigh* it'd be a perfect release, too.
despite a pretty hard day at work, i was in a good mood. of course, the "you owe us money" notice i received when i got home kinda changed that. so now i have to produce $400 to pay off the Regie de l'Assurance du Quebec, because they forced me to sign up with their stupid plan and i *gasp* dared to use it. there should really be a handbook out there to help red-tape prone people like myself navigate the intricate world of government. it should have pretty pictures and large signs that read something like: "huge gaping pit ahead. mind the gap."
despite it all, my brain is compensating nicely and coming up with options, alternatives, and a number of interesting bombing strategies to cope with the COMPLETE LACK OF FUNDS problem which will be originating in the next week. *thwacks head on desk*
essentially, i just have to keep my fingers crossed and try not to spend more than $10 a week for the next 6 months. maybe then i'll be able to pay off my debts, afford tuition, and maybe even books. *deadpan expression* i hate money problems. they make me nervous, uncertain, unsettled. gah.
on another note, i will be attending the writing session tomorrow. 7pm, as usual?
