It's too hot

It's so hot, I'm going shopping just to get into some air conditioning. I'm taking my calculator and a pad of paper so I can a. see how much things actually cost if they're on sale (I often just guess) and, b. write down things I want but don't need right now.

I called the landlord yesterday and told him I wasn't taking the apartment. He offered to lower the security deposite, but it wasn't just that. I'd be moving into a new place 9 days before school starts. I would probably be working the day I was supposed to move in, setting up my class, and then the next day, I have to go to a new teacher orientation for the entire day. I'd be doing lesson plans and stressig out over everythign as it is. My weight already crept down another two pounds, and I'm terrified of what's going to happen when school starts when I'm "stable" (i.e. living with my parents, getting food every night, not havign to worry so much about money); can you imagine how much I'd lose if I had to watch my money and live alone? I'd be in the hospital by the end of the month.

So, this is really the best for me. I'll pay off my credit cards, save up, and then move out at the end of November or December.

The good news is my headache is now gone and I can breathe again. A sure sign that I've made the right decision.

LLAR 2

Okay, obviously, the reining title for this fic is "In the Still of the Night," but this early in the game, I hesitate to actually give it a title. So, we'll just call it the "working" title.

Oh, and I think I've gotten a reputation for being a fast writer. This one will not be written quite as quickly. I seriously need to work on COTW 47, and I start in-service next Monday (!!!!) and, after that, will hopefully move into my classroom. So, we'll see.
