I am not going to lie, I am all over the map this morning. My emotions are all over the place. Most importantly, my sister is a saint. She set up a GoFundMe account for my leg. I am touched by it for sure. I have a lot of pride; you know that sting in the back of the neck that fucks with you. It's hard for me to ask for help even when I need it. I really should have had surgery by now. But swallowing my pride and telling work I need the time off and being able to pay for it all get in the way. If people actually help out and can take some of that burden off me financially, well, it would help. Now, on the opposite end of the emotional roller coaster, total donations as of right now, approximately 15 hours after her creating it, are exactly 0. Yeah. I know people have their own problems and issues. I get it. But it's just annoying to see someone who is asking for money because they want to go to DisneyWorld have $1000 donated. WTF?
On the other hand in the mail yesterday was my title for my motorcycle! I have been slowly increasing my payment on my bike since last year and shaved off six months on the payments. I now officially own my bike! I *own* a vehicle outright. You know how fucking huge that is? That's a bill completely paid off and one. Mine. It feels good. Now I can focus on the next ones on my list. I have a goal before my birthday that at least 3 more debts will be gone. I think I can do it. But let's flip this fucker over - I can do it if I don't have surgery. See the frustration? I am going to give the GoFundMe through May and see what happens. I don't know if you set a time on those things or just a dollar amount, but I figure 33 days is enough time for people to contribute. If I even get $100 it will go towards things. After reviewing the calendar, September is looking good...
One more dip on the ol' rollercoaster ride - yesterday was our six month wedding anniversary. Exciting, but not home for it. On the other hand, B informed me our pain in the ass neighbors were moving out yesterday. On the other other hand, she also was complaining about screaming children. Up and down. Up and down.
As far as work goes yesterday, no issues there. I actually finished class at 3:30. I figured it would end early. A few of my students stuck around and we did some Q&A on other topics. I left there around 4 and went to the mall. I grabbed a bath bomb from Lush to help soak my pain away. For dinner, I went to this "Modern Pub" bullshit place next door to the hotel. Would not do that again. Would rather have fast food. Got back to the hotel and finished watching all of Moone Boy and the first five episodes of Togetherness. Both are great shows. I didn't know what to expect from the latter, but it turned out to be an excellent program. I look forward to finishing it. Went to bed around 11:30.
Okay, have about an hour before I have to leave for the client. Time to get ready I guess.
