Actually, things are looking up. I'm helping a friend sell his van and a couple should be buying it today (which should make me $1,900 - enough to pay off my back rent and give me a little for other bills), plus my roommate's son is buying a PC racing game I have tonight. Yay.
I'm really hoping to hear back from one job I applied for. It would be perfect for me and I'd be in the area I want plus back in the IT world. Pays well too. We'll see!
