Signed the loan forms today. My husband the cynic sometimes...the guy asked what we did over the weekend, small chat and I said 1000 tastes, and yeah it was good, but R had to chime in that "well nothin deep fried at least!"

I get that he's just a cynical bastard, and I know it seems to freak him out when I'm happy to the point I feel guilty for happy then I get depressed that I don't deserve to be happy and well, I don't NEED that train leaving at track 2.

Sigh.

But waiting now for the loan to be processed into my account and I can zip up and register and lo, I'm a student..AGAIN.

Also walked the dog twice, did 2 loads of laundry, scrubbed the toilet, did dishes, made a giant bowl of fruit salad and a chicken stew.

Trying to eat better. if there's no junkfood in the house I don't think about it. ( hagelslag is not junk food that's proper dutch comfort food.)

We need to do a massive re org of the storage room and I can't do it myself with yonder busted foot so it'll wait.

So much to do. I want my life to be as stress free in fall, I don't want to be scrambling to stay on top of life and whatever else. So setting up some good habits now and good strategy now.

And I realize tonight I have two orders that got sent but are in shippin limbo from the strike. Arggg.

So went up to the college and paid the tuition IN FULL. the difference would have been paying 2 paymentss, one now, one in Nov, and maybe 10 bucks a month in interest. instead its in full, at 20 a month interest and I can frickin deal with that.

because....well..granted I'm no spendthrift at times but extra cash in this house seems to vaporize. Every year I come back from Dcon fucking near penniless because it vanished into his accounts "let me deposit the US cash I get a better return" and suddenly I have but 500 to my name not 4k...."

So rather than have to scrounge for the money in november, what with the china trip and all, I would rather pay an extra 10 bucks a month and know that its safely paid up to next year anyway. We can pay the LOC off and use it again for next year so that's good. and unlike OSAP which I didn't qualify for, this was processed within 3 days.

But I know he was sort of snuffling in disapproval. He wanted to run it thru my visa for the points but tuition's due friday and I didn't think the entire transaction would go so well. Why he has an aversion to the simplest direct route is something I just don't understand.

Anyway. GBC is this insidious escherian nightmare of floors and interconnected buildings that bear no relation to anything. Building E morphs into building C and they only connect on floor 1, 3, 4, and not 5, and its just a nightmare. R was helping me navigate, and goes "well it looks simple, by the central pillar...." "dude. There's no central pillar." a pause. "yeah, this is kind of fucked up."

its that 80s trendy rabbit warren construction that I don't know WHY everyone loved it but good fucking gods....

I did find the jewelery dept, tho i can't guarantee I'll ever be able to locate it consistently.

Called doc's office re the x ray they still haven't recieved. Its 4 blocks from the office. I coulda walked it over. Anyway. They'll call.
