My Mum's Idea

so my phone interview is actually on wednesday. fail! i want to start getting up with my wife in the morning to spend some time with her and eat breakfast. it will probably be good for me to do both of those things, as i love both my wife and eating. speaking of eating, i've been eating a lot of cereal lately, because cereal tastes amazing. it's like dessert for me, and i eat it that way too. tonight i got some no frills ghetto rice chex and cinnamon toast crunch because they were cheap. the imitation rice chex are good, haven't tried the other.

usually i like to eat waffles for my midnight snack slash random meal replacement food, but every time i use the toaster my fire alarm likes to go off. i hate that fire alarm. i just want to tear it out of the ceiling, but then i remember that someday, if there were a fire, it just may come in handy. i just wish it were in a more conveniently located position, but i guess it is pretty central, given that this apartment is very small. i'd say terribly small, but it isn't terrible. actually i quite like it.

christin went to the doctor today, though i should say that she went to the nurse practitioner since we can't afford to see a doctor because we don't have health insurance [halp obamas? bah.] but it's just easier to say doctor. she has bronchitis, surprise surprise, so they prescribed her some antibiotics which were free, some $20 cough syrup [codeine is expensive, yo] and some $16 cough... things. pills? they're more like gelcaps. the antibiotic is some weird abbreviation that i've never heard of. that's what happens when your wife is allergic to the two major antibiotics.

tomorrow i get to do the taxes. yay! i got some money from my financial aid stipend, which will go to books and groceries, more than likely. we buy a lot of those two things. christin gets paid in a week, which is good because we need to budget next month. i'm budgeting under the worst case scenario assumption that i don't get my unemployment benefits, which i don't think will actually happen because i don't see why i wouldn't still qualify. i'm still doing all the things i was doing in california, i'm just in a different state. i still paid into the system through my taxes, so i should still be entitled to get it back.

take that, governator!

ugh. kind of depressing thinking about how this country is being run into the ground by greedy and stupid politicians. what kind of world is this where our school boards are run by people who don't teach, our health care is overseen by c.e.o.'s who are in it for the money, our banks are just slaves to a dollar that is becoming more and more worthless, given that it is created out of thin air and swirled around. people don't even notice. people don't even know it's happening, but this country is crumbling. it's time to fight back or get out. i'm going to do both, actually.

one before the other, of course. i've been fighting in the form of third party politics for years, but eventually we all know that my heart is in hong kong. oh to be back there now. we may take a trip in september when christin gets 2 weeks off, paid vacation. pray for that and pray about coming if you're interested in doing ministry, or at the very least subverting the oppressive communist government of china to get bibles to people who just want to read about Jesus Christ. talk to you later.
