Happy birthday to me!

Today I'm on B's computer, checking my mail and reassuring everyone that I haven't fallen off the face of the Earth. Still no plan for replacing the network card---at least not until the bills have been paid; if there's anything left over, we'll see. I heard back from the agency that's been giving me the brush-off about helping with bills, and apparently I don't qualify, since for some bizarre reason, they only pay if all adults in the household are employed. (WTF logic?!) I've got another place to try on Monday, in addition to checking with the retraining office at the college to see if they have any placement programs or anything I *do* qualify for.

Meanwhile, I'm just kind of, um, okay, so I'm 46. Not where I expected to be last year at this time, but what else is new? Some of the change is for the better---like a year ago, I wasn't even ON LJ...and now I've got great friends who've been here when I've needed them. (Y'all rawk.)

When I went grocery shopping yesterday, I got ice cream. It's the first time in about two years since I was last able to KEEP ice cream in my fridge, and it makes me happy...so I have something to celebrate with.

More when I can!
