maelorin at 06:28pm on 16/03/2004well. today started very well. felt like shit when i woke up. didn't actually become alert until about 2pm - after all my classes.
but there was a period of about half an hour when i was ready to rock and roll.
but let's start at the beginning.
after a great night out last night, i 'awoke' early this morning and dragged my sorry ass out of bed. being a tuesday, and having agreed to drive across town on tuesday mornings to give my ex and our son a lift into the city, i duly got on the road.
the 20 minute drive into the city took an hour. so i missed my first class. not happy.
picked up the family and dropped my ex off. dropped my son off at childcare. everything ok so far (apart from being very late)
go to sign my son in. the childcare centre decided (without notice) to exclude our son until certain arrears were paid. now, they know we're both in financial holes at the moment. and they know that we'll be out of them in the next few weeks. i was not happy.
actually. i was fucking livid.
but tired enough that i couldn't act before my brain caught up, i dealt with the bill. and left.
then brain and body meshed. i had just given all my money to the childcare centre. i was going to eat this week. guess i'm on a diet now. not going to be a very happy camper as my blood sugar levels drop. (i'm hypoglycemic).
brain kickced in - on adrenaline - and i went to the student union to see what i could arrange for emergency money. quite a lot - but not until next friday. fucking stupid bloody ... oh, fuck.
meanwhile, my brain is still trying to grapple with the repercussions of all this.
my ex is about to go away for two days (birthday present from her family). at least i'll be able to eat at her place as i look after the cats and our son.
i have three or four days to get through 'till then.
and i have to explain all this to my housemate who is hoping to share food costs.
at least i'll get austudy on monday. damn but this 'living' on $7K/year sucks [less than half the poverty line for a single adult]
