Love. And money (or lack thereof)
Love letters rock. It's so much fun to pass notes with Sarah at work. She made a comment in her diary about how neither of us is particularly good at saying things out loud, which is pretty true, although more true of me than of her.
I called Mom today, and she said that I'm welcome to go to the house of some church people with the 'rental units for Thanksgiving, but I really don't think I'm ready to go through that. It's a long, drawn-out kind of deal, and I really don't feel like fielding questions for four hours. Plus, nobody knows I have a girlfriend yet...
And I overdrew my bank account (some funds were on hold for some reason, but I didn't know that), so they charged $65 for being overdrawn, despite the fact that (minus the funds on hold) I only went 6 cents over. I'm thinking I need to keep track of my account better. Also, the lady I talked to on the phone suggested that I get a savings account and link it to my checking account as overdraft protection. I would do that, except that I don't really have any money to put into the savings account *sigh*.
Oh well. I got an application for the chicken place down the street, so now I just have to find four (yes, 4) references. Grrr. And then I will be kind of tired, but not so poor anymore. And I can save up a few hundred dollars for a down payment on a car so Sarah doesn't have to share with me anymore. Despite the overall tone of this entry, I'm really insanely happy. Just cuddling with Sarah at the end of the day makes me so happy I couldn't care less about the rest of the world. I just want to curl up under the blankets, wrap my arms and her, and never let go...
