Oh Dear...

Well, mostly, life has been going along as usual. I work 4-5 days a week, depending on the length of each shift - mostly coming to about 30 hours a week. It's not enough to live on, not really, and money is kind of hemorrhaging... but it is still better than going crazy at home with no income at all.

Chris and his friends were officially cast in this years Renaissance Festival here in KC - and they got a very nice stage, which is a really big vote of confidence in how good the show they wrote is. They will have one show running, perhaps two if they can write one in time, and they will be performing all weekend, every weekend, through the course of the festival (Sept 4th to Oct 17th). It's a really great thing. Their show is really very funny - so if you plan on being in KC this Fall, you've got to go check it out!

In other news, I got the news yesterday that my lease is up on May 31st instead of the last day of June... cutting my timeline practically in half. Plus, I have to give my current apartment notice by April 30th... just 3 days from today. So, basically, I have 3 days to find an apartment that will actually rent to someone with a part time job and terrible credit that is in the area that I need to be in so that when I give notice I don't find myself suddenly with no place to live at all. And, then, after I give that notice on Friday I will have about 4 weeks to pack everything up and arrange the move itself. It's a bit high stress at my house right now...

I hate moving... the process of packing and literally moving the items from house to house... it SUCKS. I am sure everyone agrees with me... I am just trying to focus on the fun of getting to decorate a new place once all the crappy parts are over - plus the amount of $ that can be saved in gas once I am living closer to work/friends/etc... And I am willing to take a smaller place to make my monthly rent lower, too... I might be able to cut a hundred or more dollars out of my bills - let's hope!
