It's a little better...

Life's relaxed a little bit now. Thank God. I called the MN Department of Revenue; they're not going to take my car. Haha. It's all good. Now I know exactly how much my bills are going to be every month. Also got my federal loans consolidated. They didn't go through waaay back in July when I called them before because I saw that it hadn't gone through and they said that they saw no reason why they shouldn't. Well, the reason: my address was the same as one of my references. So they're consolidated at 3.something% now. Which isn't the 2.5% it could have been, but it's also not the 5% I thought it would be. Yay.

I went to Kinko's, and it looks like the paper I wanted to use to print part of my invitations on isn't going to work anywhere. So I guess I'm going to have to settle for plain 'ol cardstock. I'll have to see if I can't think of anything to jazz them up if that's what happens. And use the 200-odd sheets of the other stuff for something.

The lady doctor I had told me that it's a 1 in 3 chance of the cells being cancerous. Not good. When my mom told my dad and brother last night I guess my brother started crying and my dad just got real serious. I'm not all that worried about it at this point because this has happened to me before and it was all right. Maybe it's just one of those things that I'm going to be unfortunate enough to have to do every 2-3 years. Cutting, biopsy, and acid. Lovely. And why borrow trouble? I have enough already. And at any rate, if it is anything, I'm sure we caught it early enough to do something about it.

I was going to apply at SuperTarget in West St. Paul today but when I went they application kiosks were always full! There was no way I was going to stand in line looking like a huge dork, though. Haha. :) Anyway, I hope everything is going well for you all!!

I'm sure you will be fine, Dana! I will pray for you, friend. And I guess going through the testing every couple years is better than what could happen, right?

Good luck with finding a job. Did you ever think of getting into mortgaging? I also told you to write a book. Why don't you listen to me? I am partially psychic, you know.

PS. I'm glad you are finally getting somewhere with your invitations. I was very, very worried. (I've also been worried about your finances. It's been many a sleepless nights for me.)
