Exploring the other side of the rainbow

replacing my life…

And then the money thing…..I plan on writing out one check for a Prince concert (front row seats) and handing over cash for another twenty dollar bill. I feel so ashamed that I have to borrow money from people. I feel horrible. I also felt vulnerable going by myself to pick up some wired cash from Western Union (see Mark). I asked one girl to go with me and when we ran into closed offices…..I felt sad. Then, she kept saying she didn’t understand why I needed the cash and that she always ended up using her credit card. Then, thankfully, I didn’t have to remind her, she remembered my wallet was stolen. She wanted to lend me some cash for gas and I felt uncomfortable doing so, since I owe two people money already. So, yeah - sweet girl, but I felt so ashamed when she brought up that whole - “I don’t understand why you need the cash….” business….because, well…..very few establishments accept checks and so I can’t go shopping or anything else. Hell…it’s nearly impossible to travel downtown since I have to scrounge around for change and dollar bills for a train ticket. So, I feel really vulnerable without my cards and with out my driver’s license.

Cell
My mom is sending over her cell phone so that I won’t be dead in the water when I go out reporting. We had my number transfered to her cell. I told her I was grateful and she said “That’s what moms are suppose to do.”

My sweetie got back to me…his pager sucks ass. So, we talked and I cried and ranted…the usual….he wired some cash over to me…such a sweetie. Thanks to a misprint on the Western Union site - I miscalculated the closing time for the office and couldn’t pick up the cash until later. He’s down in LA - storing his stuff in my parent’s storage. Damn, I miss Cali so much.

I got it back and the office took checks - $15 replacement fee. Fine. But that’s the only way I could get into the gym - so Saturday morning and today - I worked out. I feel better - more energetic. Finally, I can sweat out my frustration and work off all the damn snacking I’ve engaged in during my summer vacation.

I missed placed it. By now, I’m replacing everything - so I’m not too upset. But I’m going to wait until the end of this month before I call it in as a lost. I have faith it will pop up when I’m not looking for it….afterall….how bad can my luck be?
