"You can't get something from nothing"

Alrighty. So...things are going O.K. for me and Pat. Except for the fact that I ended my internship and don't have a job and Pat has a six-week field camp class and can't work. I am currently sick with a cold (This year I have been sick so often it makes me angry!) and have to get my wisdom teeth pulled. So we are both jobless and still have bills to pay. What fun for us. AND I just found out yesterday that my great grandmother died.

However, to put a positive spin on things, Me and Pat got all As and Bs this semester and our landlord is the greatest guy ever. I really hope in the future that we have landlords that are as cool as ours.

This summer we had planned on going down to visit with Pat's fam in Cali for a week, but I'm not so sure we'll be able to afford it. I hate this we-don't have-the-money phase. I wasn't able to attend my cousins wedding, I won't be able to attend my great grandmother's funeral, and we both won't be able to see Pat's family for another 7 months...maybe.

I so badly want to be done with this phase of my life but know that I can't get the things I want in the future if I don't work hard and earn them now. It's all about give and take. As my husband says, "You can't get something from nothing." I loe my husband but I hate philosophizers. ;-)
