i realize all i've been doing is bitching lately, and i'm sorry.

i've been going off of my anti-depressant/pain med because it's just too expensive for me anymore, so i've been uber bitchy. coupled with the car crap and i'm a fucking joy to be around. i swear, joey has the patience of mother theresa.

all and all life really isn't so bad. classes are going well, and they're REALLY interesting. especially the forensic psychology class. i have to assess a famous serial killer based on their background and the details of the case, and we aren't told who the killer is. they're from all over the world too, not just the US. we haven't been assigned them yet because we have to learn the basics of forensic assessment first.

joey and i continue to thrive more and more with each hurtle. we recently bonded deeper than i have EVER bonded with a significant other, and was able to let out a skeleton that's been hanging out in my closet for a very long time, and so was he. i felt like a ton of bricks had been lifted off of me.

dexter is thriving as well. since everyone has relaxed around each other now the cats are sometimes in a ridiculously close proximity of each other. dexter and nadjia were SNUGGLING today (until they got caught). our little (growing) family is doing well.

dad wants to buy the house he's living in under my name, so i'll be a homeowner (heheheheheh). as a reward we get the other side of the duplex, which is a GIANT two bedroom beast with a full basement (the basement alone is twice the size of my apartment) that has a little bar in it and a workshop complete with pegboard for joey's and my bikes/skateboards. it's a really nice setup with a full backyard (and a spot for a GARDEN!!!!!! i love me some gardening!!!) and two car garage, plus my daddy will be right next door so i won't have to worry about him so much.

so yeah, life's not so bad, it's just the damn car thing is so infuriating and frustrating.
