I haven't been around much of late. That's life in the Mina lane.
So what's been up with Little Miss Mercury?
For openers, I'm now partially employed (again), another victim of this idiotic financial mess that dolts on both sides of the aisle in Congress have basically created. I may
qualify for unemployment; I've applied for it and am now waiting. It won't be much, based on my hours worked--but it'll help out. I've had to quit paying the $5 a month for the
banners to be on someone else's website. Which is why they're back here--for now. This may also create a temporary stoppage of my hormones. (I do have a little tucked
away for another round, but if things don't improve soon it's a moot point.)
I also have a rather large tax bill, and I am trying to figure out how to pay that.
I've had my gallbladder removed, which left 4 wicked little scars on my tummy. I'll be wearing a 1-piece from here out, or at least until they fade away. Otherwise, I'll scare little
children. Even so, those scars beat the pain I was in.
I just came back from a pre-planned, prepaid vacation. I have another one that I am trying to figure how we will eat on; I have limited credit and the SO's has been reduced to
levels of absurdity...probably just like yours has. (Seems to me they'd be increasing everyone's credit line, to entice us to go shop and stimulate the economy.)
I'm desperately trying to finish a third doctorate, for all the good it will do me. Progress is slow. Plus I found the original manuscripts for all the stories in my alleged book of
fiction.
And, I still have to go through and decide what to do with a bunch of stuff.
Frankly, I'm at my wit's end. What's a girl to do?
A bubble bath is in order. Shave my legs and armpits. (The epilator is for next week. I'm just not up to it today.) A quick shower, and some housework.
Then try to relax. Think. Plan.
But not cry. I've done quite enough of that for right now.
And not worry. I've been in worse scrapes before.
And, no quitting. I've never been a quitter before, and I'm not about to start now.
--------
I have my day planned. I have some options, some hope.
Things aren't looking as bleak as they were. Things still reek, but a few days off and some rest, and things look a little better.
