limbo rock
yeah rock limbo. i know this one all too well. one day it's good news from the broker and the very next day some paperwork has not been turned in on the guarantor's side and the apt is back floating somewhere between being mine and being theirs. it's the worst kind of limbo because i can do absolutely NOTHING on my end to get out of it--it's all documentation that has to be signed and notarized by my guarantor and i can't very well call someone i'm asking a favour from and bug them every few hours. so it's a fucking sit, wait and see what happens--for almost two weeks now.
but my parents have been darlings and without them i would be quite homeless, not to mention extremely penniless. i can't wait to be back for chinese new year. three weekends of bliss i hope. i miss home--the family, the friends, the weather, the town bee. things would be 200% simpler if i lived at home. for one, no need to rent a u-haul truck to transport my life from one part of town to another every couple of weeks/days. but otherwise, i would have never realized how expensive a bed is. i walked into sleepy's with a budget of $200. the salesguy walks me to the back of the showroom and pulls an ugly blue (in shiny and very cheena fabric) mattress onto the ground. "try it--see how you like it" first, all the other mattresses in the store looked absolutely LUXURIOUS next to the one he pulled out, with extra padding and all. second, they were displayed like regular beds. mine unfortunately was hastily propped up against the wall and felt like a box of springs. so i ended up busting my budget by double because otherwise i would have been better off sleeping on egg crates. but apparently i got a "good deal" because they needed to make a sale that day and so my $425 package included the base, the frame, the mattress pad and delivery. i guess i can't complain. plus, after sleeping on shanaz's bed, i need to have something half as comfy. everyone i've asked says it's not bad at all so let's just hope it is because i feel like i've been screwed left right center for the last 2 months.
i'm exhausted. i think maybe i have mono. or maybe it's the flu. whichever. it is giving me aches and my lymph nodes are inflamed. i wonder if one can overdose on vitamin c. been downing redoxen to save my life, soon even my pee will be orange and good for you.
