Celebrate!

My loan cheque came today. This is exciting, even though it means I'm in even more debt, in the long run. At this point, I don't even care anymore. I just want to reach the goal, for once in my life, and call it a day.

If it gets bad, I can just run away to Canada or something, and escape my financial obligations. Hah. Hah.

Five digits is a lot of money. I went ahead and bought Brendan a new dog bed, and new sheets for myself, since mine finally bit the dust when the fitted sheet ripped completely up the middle while I was sleeping, one night. Freaky, right? What's more pathetic is that I went ahead and slept with two sheet-halves for another night cause I was just too worn out to even strip it off the bed and throw it away. Hopefully this set will last longer. It isn't fancy, 800 count Egyptian cotton, but I figured the Nautica name could assure me some sort of lasting quality. At any rate, the striped pattern just stole my heart and I couldn't say no...but I get points for not dropping any cash on the matching quilt.

Brendan is entirely thrilled with his new bed. He ruined his little Costco shell bed when he vomited on it, but that bed was too small for him anyway. This new one is perfection!


Going to try and do a combo whitewater and riding trip with Mom! I am SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS! I can't even explain. Not only am I so touched that Mom is willing to go riding with me, but I'm so pumped about whitewater rafting. Life is too fucking short! Time to grasp the nettle of life. 

Just two more weeks before classes resume. I'm glad for the break from work. Maybe it will help my feet calm down.
