I keep hoping that money will magically drop out of the sky, or that I'll find a hundred dollar bill inside a book while I'm cleaning. Even though I know it is completely unrealistic, even though I know that kind of shit never happens, I find myself still hoping for something. It keeps me a little more sane.

I've been going round and round with the insurance company this week. Changing doctors is easy, until you actually want something done. No one seems to know what the hell is going on, or what kind of coverage we really have for anything. Come on, how fucking hard can it be? I am amazed what a difference it makes when you get someone who doesn't treat you like a bug. I have to call them again tomorrow, and I'm so not looking forward to it.

There's nothing I hate more than living from paycheck to paycheck. Thank god I managed to save some money, or all this crap with doctors would have broken us. As it is, I imagine we shall be eating a lot of toast. We'll get by, because we have to and because it's the only thing to do until a magical sack full of gold coins drops out of the sky. Hah! Too many video games.

I'm deeply afraid I destroyed my sewing project. I don't know if I can repair what's wrong, and I'm so brokenhearted about it. Right now I'm not even looking at it. I think if I can fix what's wrong, I'll have to recut and redo the collar entirely. Fuck.

Oh no! You were so close to being finished with the coat. What happened???

Oh I screwed up the stitching of the collar and the inner piece and the collar got out of place and the whole thing is wonky! I am having a devil of a time pulling out those stitches cause it is so much fabric all smooshed together. What really peeves me is that I *finally* figured out exactly how to pin the inner piece to the coat so it folds perfectly. Gah! I blame the collar, as it is very slippery.

If it's just the collar, take heart...I'm sure it's not ruined. Work patiently, even if it seems like you're not going to get through it without making it worse, and I'm sure you'll be back on track in no time.

Hey, that's advice for all sorts of things going on right now. Go me! Heh! ; )
