Neat Little Package.

Well, after finally putting some effort into getting things taken care of, they seem to all be falling into place. It feels wonderful. I'm only like three steps away from being fully prepared to go to school.

I got my learner's permit!!!! I am so excited now. This is a big step on the road towards being more independent. This means that I can take classes when I want and not have to rely on Dan for transportation. It also means that we'll probably be far more likely to have a fully-stocked kitchen, because he is not always up for going out when I am. I can also go to the gym when I need to without having to get him to go if he's not feeling active. This is just really great. Of course, I can't quite do these things until I get my license, but all I need is a little practice and I'll be good to go.

As far as school goes, I still need to get a form signed about my vaccination papers, which are in the mail. Then I need to register, and then I need to talk to Financial Aid. So after the end of this (maybe next) week, I should be good to go.

The house is still really messy, so that will be my next big project.

I've given Austin some of the Paul things to look over. She needs a jumpstart so she can start writing again, and I thought it might be a good idea to co-write some stuff about Paul and Sam until she finds her voice again.

Christy, I am probably going to get online today. This afternoon.

Crisis Hopefully Averted

Our computer recently crashed, which is why I've been so incommunicado lately. Also, we just went to two weddings within two weeks, both of them out of state, so that was a big fucking pain in the ass. Speaking of pain, my hands hurt so I'm keeping this short. More tomorrow.

Basically, we had to back up everything important in safe mode and bite the bullet and reinstall windows. Here's to hoping it keeps working.
