Hmmm, INS

From Thursday, June 10, 2004

Well Chris and I went to INS yesterday in the torrential rain..on a spare tire...with 4 and 1/2 hours of sleep on me...the driver. We made it just fine amazingly. When we started off there was no rain so I wasn't worried. But hey we made it and that's what counts. The interview went pretty well. We were a bit nervious at first because the guy came and called Chris' name and then just walked away before we even had an opportunity to see what he looked like. In the end though, I managed to break through his staunch barrier as I usually can and he turned out to be pretty pleasant. Chris is good to stay as long as we present more evidence to the guy in the next 45 days of Chris' stability here. I don't think that will be a problem. On the home front here...my house is a disaster and it's annoying. We moved in here officially Feb 29th but we still haven't put everything away. I miss my old house. :/ I miss Noddy. :*(

This new place (for us) that we're renting is ok...three bedrooms, cheaper than the old place but it has a few drawbacks. There was a leak in the washing machine water pipe that we didn't know about and the first leak happened which deposited plenty of mold to which I am allergic. This allergy has caused sinus infections...like 5 in a row, non-stop. While we have shampooed the carpet once, we obviously didn't get all the mold so I've been having to sleep on the couch. It's getting relatively uncomfortable there. Also, we now have a leak in the roof and can't call the landlord to come fix it until we get the house sorted a bit because frankly I'm embarrassed that I haven't done it yet.

The front yard is minus grass in a lot of places because the last people who lived here trashed the place and parked in the yard. Chris and I spent a lot of time trying to fix the yard and a week or two ago I found out our duplex neighbor's friend was parking in the yard on Sunday mornings which might explain why that patch of grass we've worked so hard to fix wasn't fixing so well. Man was I pissed off. I told them to move the vehicle nicely. That was the first time. I also left a note on the windshield and when I had to come back home 20 mins later to get something I forgot and saw the vehicle again I just yelled from the outside to move it off the lawn like a barbarian.

I'm still waiting on my birthday gift from my brother and one from my mom. It sucks. I want my present because frankly I'd like to do something nice for myself. I'm tired of having nothing, not being able to go out and things like that. It bites. On the bright side, I have a bad ass toon (character) on my RPG game that I got so into...it's fun being able to kill stuff...gets rid of a lot of tension. :*)
