Urucir nyenen: Don't Worry
I apologize if I worried anyone excessively with my previous post. Yes, I was having a dark night of the soul, but no, I wasn't contemplating suicide. Thank you all for the support and good wishes you sent, especially for the phone messages, even those I didn't answer. (Thanks, ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) lauralyrics!) It is good to be reminded once again just how many wonderful friends I have.
So the bulk of the terrible workload has passed. I got the awful Friday job out on time. I even talked to the lady in charge of the calendar and got out of the Wednesday overnight job! This weekend was shot getting that Friday job out, and as I spent almost the whole time in the office working and wallowing in self-pity, I allowed myself to subsist on junk food -- chicken strips, burgers, onion rings, and ice cream. I don't think I'll do that again anytime soon, as my stomach wasn't feeling very good today. As much as I enjoy grease, I think I can handle it only in limited doses.
Despite my assertion in my previous post, I have been doing at least one thing other than working. I've been apartment hunting like a maniac. With the loss of my beloved former roommie supermer, I have had to look for a cheaper place to reside. The search started very ill, the complexes I visited offering one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartments for only about $100-$150 less than my current rent for this townhouse. But I finally found a gem of an apartment in Cary, with which I am thrilled. It's quite large, about 960 square feet, with two bedrooms, great closets, two full bathrooms, and a fireplace, at as good or better a price than the tiny one-bedrooms I was considering. (So if queserasarah ever decides to move back home from Ireland, she could be my roommie again!) Part of the good price is due to the haggling of my rich Yankee brother-in-law. I signed my lease Saturday, and I will be moving in April 1st. I plan to use food to bribe friends into helping me move, so anyone who's bribable, especially if you have a truck, please let me know. At present I'm considering making shrimp etoufee (a Cajun dish) for anyone who helps, but further suggestions are welcome.
Well, tomorrow I go to jail (no kidding), so I must be off to bed.
