A/C, Internet, and Coffee

Some force in the multiverse (insert diety of your choice here) has apparently decided my life was too easy and 2009 was the time to fix all that.

First, I had to move. Don't get me wrong, I got a few benefits out of that but moving sucks. And now, I'm moving not one, not two, but FOUR more times in the next 4 months with two of those moves being essentially couch-surfing. The icing on the homeless cake is that apparently, there won't be a place available for me in Germany when August has to be there so I'm... NOT GOING. Not yet, anyway. August goes, then finds a home for us, then I get to go. The estimate is 60 to 140 days for that to happen.

Second, I got laid off. As if being a giant negative on the balance sheet of the company I served loyally for over four years isn't enough, the timing is absolutely fucking rotten. Remember those four moves I talked about above? Tell me how I'm supposed to get a job if I'm not in one place for more than a couple months. Really, how?

Third, and I know this is minor, the pharmacy couldn't read the doctor's handwriting for the ONE prescription I really needed. I've been suffering from vertigo for several days so the doctor gave me something to fight a possible infection (and it may cause dizziness), something to drain the fluid from my ears (and it may cause dizziness), and something to fight the dizziness. Guess which one they couldn't read?

And finally, the kittens have fleas. I don't think I need to elaborate.
