Whoooaa... Wheeeee....

Lortab. Mmmm, opiates.

The neck thingy hurts. It hurt last time around, too, but I was more concerned with the mouth pain (remember I got that weird mouth-swelling-up thing just before my surgery) and finding food/drink firm enough to get past the bruised epiglottis (liquids trickled into my trachea) and soft enough not to further bruise my gums.

This time, I don't have those distractions. The neck thingy hurts and itches. Yuck. I took a Lortab about 40 minutes ago, when I woke the kids. It just kicked in. Wheeeeeeeeeeee.... it doesn't take much for me, folks. I epitomize the word "lightweight."

Everybody Say Yay

Two good things happened right before I left for the neck-snippage yesterday. I was offered an apartment in the YWCA's Transitional Housing Program, and the Student Assault Resource Center (name change, it got a bit awkward being known as SARS) called to see if I'd like to be an advocate again this year. I'm doing a weekend page shift on Saturday. I'm pretty excited to get back into that. Believe it or not, I've missed the nights of fitful sleep, waiting for the pager to go off so I can help talk a frightened woman through her experience of being sexually assaulted or living with relationship violence.

I'll be doing a walk-through of the new apartment this afternoon, and can sign a lease next week. Now the packing begins in earnest. Missoula people, are you still willing to help me move? :-)

Ugh... the Lortab made me sick. Just threw up. Hell. I need to play "race the check to the bank" this morning as soon as the kids go to school.

It is Here.

The porn has arrived.

I just did a walk-through of our new place. It's a duplex. Two bedrooms, but we can make do for a while. It has a fenced yard and a washer and dryer!!!!

Now I'm off to pick up Eliza, then meet absurd_observer (who has my boys doing hard labor at his folks' place) for the "Katrina got a job" sushi celebration! Then we're off to Eliza's school for a "meet the people" ice cream social.

I'm already wiped out. I hope I can make it through the evening. I think I'll take a Lortab and ask absurd_observer to drive.
