Stress!

It seems like there’s always something for me to stress about. Earlier this week Rob and I went looking at apartments. Then we learned that the place that was on the top of our list had a murder the night after we visited it. So, needless to say that place got chucked. It’s funny because while we were there, Rob was like “I like that it’s gated, that makes it a little more safe.” Ha ha! :lol:

On top of that, the people who control our lease are being slooooow as hell getting back to us about re-signing the lease. We refuse to live here without a lease stating that we legally live here. Without it, we’re in a really dangerous legal position. If they don’t contact us by the end of next week I’ll be pretty upset. If we don’t have this settled by the 15th of next month, we’re moving out.

So, right now it’s a toss up between an expensive one bedroom apartment, or a slightly more expensive two bedroom townhouse. That is, if we have to move out in the next month. Gah!!!

I’m also trying to get a move on making stuff for MetroCon. :shock:

Ugh

Sorry I haven’t updated in a while, busy, blah, blah, etc. Anyway, here are some random updates.

I had a job interview with a staffing company. Not sure if anything will come of that. I’m starting to get depressed about job hunting.

Rob and I went apartment hunting yesterday. Why is a one bedroom apartment nearly half the rent of a 5 bedroom house? And if it’s not, it’s because it’s in a crappy neighborhood or the size of a closet.

Yesterday Rob and I also donated a lot of stuff to Salvation Army. Now, I’m doing something really nice, and the people there were incredibly rude. It seems like more and more lately I really don’t want to do nice things for people because they’re all assholes who take advantage of it or are completely ungrateful. Like the children at Halloween, or the people that came to our garage sale.

Anyway, it seems like every day there is something new to stress about. My chest pain has come back. It went away for nearly a month and now it’s back.

I’m going to go make more stuff for the artist alley table. Hopefully that will work out.

JACON Report

So, one word to describe JACON. Hot. And not hot in a good way. They moved to a new hotel, but it had the exact same issue: you had to walk outside, in the heat, to get from one building to the next. In the Artist Alley area it was hotter inside than outside. The dealer’s room was packed with stinky sweaty people. So, my assessment was correct that JACON has continued to decline.

On Friday we went so that Rob could scout out some photography locations and to pick up his badge. I wore a yukata and got quite a lot of compliments. I didn’t wear it long however, because it was too damn hot! And the yukata is the summer kimono, it’s only one layer of cotton and I was still incredibly hot.

Saturday wasn’t much better either. I pretty much spent the day sitting around people watching and chatting with Eddie. Rob didn’t have many photoshoots, but his camera was acting up so the photoshoots took longer than expected. I didn’t get to see him much.

I also went to lunch with some lolita ladies at a tea shop. The only bad part of that was we had to eat outside on the patio. It’s kinda hard to order tea at a tea house when it’s that hot outside. But I had a nice lunch and ordered a huge éclair for dessert. I swear it was a foot long! It looked like a giant chocolate covered sea slug. :razz:
