Broken Axle

Well, Trevor's parents paid our rent again. It's embarrassing, but I am SO SO thankful they did because we were totally screwed. Thankfully, today and tomorrow are Trevor's last two days to serve in jail. He also just switched from serving to cooking so finances are..... non-existent.

First, yesterday, it was pretty much known and decided that we could just not afford for me to go to Otakon and meet Jen and go to the dinner which is all I really cared about anyway. Then, my dad wanted us to come for dinner, and truthfully, we really couldn't even afford to do that (he lives 30 minutes away). But we did anyway, and he pulled me aside and said "Here's some extra gas money" and handed me a hundred dollar bill. I love my pops. Trevor's parents also sent us a gift card for Wal-Mart so we were able to get our diaper and wipe supply as well as GROCERIES. It's rare we have groceries for ourselves. I mean, we usually have SOMETHING, but generally, we just make sure Lily is fully stocked.

Anyway, so my dad's friend Satish was in town from India and he made us the best Indian curry I have EVER EVER had. It was delightfully spicy and I hate cilantro... but Indians sure do know how to use some coriander!! We hung out at Dad's for a while and then came home.

I let Trevor drive the car to our friend Brad's house, because he lives near the jail. From there, he got a ride with Brad and then Brad will go pick him up and he can drive our car home. That saves us about 50 bucks because normally we drive to Williamsburg, I drive back. Then Wednesday, I drive back AGAIN and we come home. This way, it's only one trip. This morning I had a small anxiety attack because I HATE being stranded without a car. NO, I don't need to go anywhere, but I just.... WHAT IF I WANTED TO?? I mean, there's always family in case something goes crazy and I REALLY need some help, but what if I just wanna run to the mall for fun, or grab a burger?

Anyway, Kelly took me to Cracker Barrel, because, dammit I deserved a Webkinz. Plus, I spied the duck at the Cracker Barrel in the West End, and that was pretty much the first one I ever wanted besides the pink googles. It's by far my favorite. It's just too bad I didn't have time to get to a JC Penny's or Limited Too for a gloss or body spray. My blueberry is running pretty low already.

So anyway, I might still be able to go to the Hard Rock Dinner but it all depends on what happens the rest of this week. My dad said I could use his corporate apartment so that cuts out hotel cost. All we really need is gas money, so everyone keep your fingers and toes crossed that things work out. I REALLY want this mini-vacation.

I can't wait to start school so I have something to do at least one day a week.

I truthfully only updated this blog in case someone is sitting on the john surfing the web while poo-ing... (I poo-surf). It's a pretty quick read because my life is booo-ooooring. :)

Sending positive Otakon vibes your way!!! You're so close you have to go! With all the other shit life throws at you sometimes you just gotta say "fuck you" to those financial worries and take off and have fun! I'm a big fan of the running away from it all idea ;-) Besides...those of us who can't go want the pictures and stories!

Love you!
