today is a new day

thank goodness today is a new day. i couldn't have redone yesterday. it seems that dust is feeling better. he even got a mini job at the farmer's market on three days a week. he starts tuesday. i talked to quinn and she thinks there might be a place for us right under their apt that is month to month, and claudia said she may have nice place for us. we went to the open house at my school tonight. it was a one hour drive to get there. yesh! that could be my daily commute, but that is another story. the open house was pretty cool. we got the token tour (complete with cadaver display) and the speeches about how great life west chiropractic college is. by the end of the first speech, even dust was ready to sign up. then we heard what had happened to the school that was going to teach me organic chemistry. turns out they lost their accreditation. so they can no longer teach science. they do have a pretty fancy law school and a few other branches that are successful, but no the one i need. so last night i was worried. but i think that may have been a little premature because my school is already planning a way to offer both the chemistry classes in the same place at the same time, and they may even try to employ the same teachers. so that is somewhat of a breath of fresh air. and just listening to the president of the school talk about his beliefs in chiropractic lets me know that i am not only in good hands, but i am in the right place--despite the potential hour long commute.
also thanks claudia and quinn for coming to the rescue. i am amazed at the speed you guys are capable of coming through for me. and even if nothing comes from either situation, just knowing i have friends who will jump to it when i need them means the world to me. now don't think i am slighting the rest of you. i know dust and i are being watched out for by all of you. so those nice words are to all of you. i could not have made it through a lot of the times in my life without you. nor would i want to. so thank you.
now it is supposed to really start raining on saturday. they are talking that we may lose our power for hours again. in which case, could we start a vigil early in the power loss--age to focus our energy on getting the power back on? otherwise, i may just have dust drive me to the bar and drink like an old country and western singer. not really, we could never afford that now. hopefully, work will turn up on my end, too. i don't really care to be supported financially. so i hit the streets looking for work (not street work, just work). i am going to go to the shops around the house and ask there. that way i would not have to drive. and they might be more open to part time or what not. but i could walk. that is nice. and we have a cute little neighborhood. so it could be fun. so keep us in your thoughts and prayers and whatever you believe. we still need it. but there is a little silver on the lining of our cloud #9. let's just get more of this and less of those pesky "nope days".
love to all
