A report of the past few weeks and a very Harry Christmas

[Tasha--Nethilia]

Well, my life has been sort of a mess since about
December 18th, so here's a quick catchup to explain
why my normal semi-lurking has become even more semi. 

First of all, on the 18th, I got evicted from my
place. The landlords gave me the notice then, in an
e-mail. This wasn't because i owed rent--my rent was
all paid. It was because I owed my roommate money from
bills (not to her parents who coincidentally are the
landlords, but directly to her) and wasn't getting
paid a lot as a temp and so was struggling to pay her
back. (This was also a combination of my mom's car
accident right after Thanksgiving and me not getting
paid overtime cause I was a crappy temp) and so I got
evicted. Not even a 30 day notice, mind--a 13 day
notice. I had to be out by the 31st or they would
change the locks on me. 

This was a major problem, seeing as I had planned to
be out of town from about the 24th through the 7th or
so (first at home with family and then out of town
visiting my boyfriend all the way in Colorado). So I
had to get everything packed and ready to be moved by
the 23rd, else I would be royally screwed. Luckily, my
mother found me dorm space and storage space to hold
all my things, and I can move back into the dorms when
I move back after my Colorado trip. So I'm not
homeless. Just inconvinienced. 

No problem, I tell myself, I can move everything after
work, right? So I spend Wednesday and Thursday night
packing upe everything and get everything but the
bathroom and kitchen done. 

Friday, I head off to work, and two hours into my
shift I'm called to the back. Remember how I said that
I was a temp? Well, all the temps were fired that day,
with the exception of a few. I was not one of the few.
I'm not sure what it was--the recession or the massive
payroll problems, but yah, I got let go from my job.
>< So now I'm jobless and without a place. Gyah. 

Anyways, my mom comes up Saturday with my sisters, and
we get everything moved out, and I get everything done
and situated, and then I go home with my mom. Things
went up after that, though ^.^ My mom took me shopping
where I found spiffy shirts and things at this
Goodwill (always the Goodwill shopper, me). 

Also, I got five HP things for Christmas. Really, it's
four, and if you want to be picky, it's one cause the
others I got myself and have to put together.
Anyways...first of all I went to Walmart with my mom
and we found the HP fabric on sale, droppded from 5
bucks a yard to only 3 and a half. So I got one panel
of Harry and one with the houses on it ^^ 

The second two are a set. While wandering around the
Goodwill my mom and I found two identical red headed
boy Cabbage Patch dolls. My mom (who, I am proud to
say, has converted to the Way of The Boy Who Lived; my
older sister got her to read the books) Grabbed them
and said "Fred and George!" and since I can knit and
the like, I'm going to make Weasley sweaters and make
me a set of Fred and George dolls. 

Third, my grandmother bought everyone in the family
pajamas for Christmas, and for me, she got Harry
Potter pajamas! They're light blue with golden
Snitches and clouds and the HP logo. ^___^ and they
didn't even know that I'm an obsessed Potterite.

So yah, things will get better. I'm not upset about
what happened with my job and place. I can get rehired
in Feb at my job, and my roommate was being eevahl.
Seriously, who tells a person that you can't use the
sponges or the POTS in the house and fusses that you
leave dirty dishes in the sick over the day while
you're working for 8 hours, but leaves her dishes for
about three days while she goes out of town? I
understand the problems with her dad and the like, as
he's been in and out of the hospital, but still. 

Anyways, I'm in Colorado now (got here this morning)
so all's right with the world when you're visiting
your boyfriend till the 7th =D
