My Journey

Work is crazy.

Course work is crazy.

Had job interview, now awaiting the verdict.

Apartment/house hunting.

My mom is sick. Got my hands on an at-home covid test. We'll see if she has the dreaded virus (and well me too).

And now I'm hungry.

Have a good weekend everyone! 

I took a day off of work today.

I did two of the hardest things today:

1) Temporarily stopped driving and bought a bus pass
2) Informed the property rental agency I'm backing out of our pre-rental agreement

I'm experiencing symptoms of carbamazepine toxicity and need to withdraw from the medication. The new medication is pretty expensive and I don't know when it will be approved from my insurance. So, in the interim while my medications are being sorted out, I decided I needed to stop driving. I hate taking the bus, but it is what it is.

As for the awesome apartment, I needed to give that up too. The apartment had new paint and carpets put in, and for someone like me who's extra sensitive, drug withdrawal plus paint and voc exposure will be a health disaster.

I had a good cry about both things, but in the end I have peace over my decisions :)

Still hot and gross.

Trying to figuring out ways to get out of this dump without resorting to student loans. I don't want to be paying student loans for the rest of my life though. I just can't take living here anymore.
...

Saw Jason Bourne and Star Trek. Bourne was boring except for the epic car chase. Star Trek had some beautiful space shots, other than that...meh. I must be getting crabby in my old age. 

Stupid Riverside and their idiotic zoning regulations. The minimum house size for new residential construction is 750 sq/ft or 450 sq/ft in a mobile park. How ridiculous is that?! This pretty much guarantees I won't be able to build my small house :( I could apply for a variance, but I fear it won't go anywhere.

Maybe I should try another city?

So my neighbors are fighting again. Very loudly apparently. It's sad that their kids have to endure that crap.

*Sigh*

CPS is worthless with their "we don't do that" when asked to do their jobs. Why are those kids still with those people?
