I wrote to him a couple of weeks or so ago I guess it was and never heard anything back from him. Then just as I was talking to msanthrope his email popped up saying he wired most of the money. He sent me a few hundred dollars once before to help me with getting my upper denture done. We used to rent this awesome house with a pool and three other people back when I was just 24 or 25. Then he got a really good job in San Diego and I ended up moving to my own place, but I did see him that one time about 5 years later and he's not been back east since, but we've always talked all the time through email and before the internet on the phone every few months. He was just away for a couple of weeks and didn't get my email begging for help until this morning.
I think I forgot to tell you before that after both he and I moved out of that house the other 3 people got two others to replace us, and just something like 5 months later or so the weird kid they paid to cut the lawn set the house on fire while they were all at work, and it burned almost all the way to the ground. They all had renter's insurance though but losing mementos and stuff like that must have been terrible. The three people we used to live with there took pictures of themselves sitting on the soot blackened toilet in what was left of the downstairs bathroom and sent them to us. They were all drinking beer and grinning like it was the best thing ever that their house burned down with everything they owned. Turned out that weird kid that lit it on fire was lighting little fires all over town for awhile but they never knew who was doing it. I don't know how they caught him this time, but he very well could still be in jail.
I just realized I never put any money in the meter when I got to the court. And I actually lucked out with a spot right in front. After you go through the electronic widget when you first get in there's an absolute maze of corridors to get to the right office, and I was scared to death I'd get lost inside the courthouse and not make it to the clerk's office in time to pay. Cripes, my heart was in my throat the whole time since I got his email then went to the bank then the courthouse. Man, I don't know how I made it!
No more blood coming out of my nose. The whole thing is pretty sore though especially right where my nostrils are. It looks the same as ever though maybe just a wee bit swollen right around where the septum meets the upper lip. I just realized I've got a big bruise on my knee, too, but I don't remember hitting it on anything. I must have though.
Now I just have to figure out how to put gas in the car, pay the phone company before they shut me off, buy the uniform for work and OMG, buy my meds! Shit, I forgot about my meds. I have about a week and half of them left, but my Medicaid won't be approved for maybe a month yet. I think I'm ok with the other bills for a few weeks.
Thanks so much for vouching for me too, though I think it's just nuts that anyone needed to (and not like the vipers will give a crap anyway).
Man oh geez oh man, I'm soooooo relieved that my old roomie came through for me! The relief is just incredible. And I'm not going to listen to my family anymore. i'll never forgive them for this shit, but if anyone of them needed help and I could give them something, I STILL would.
OMG, I totally forgot to say thanks a million trillion for the donations and the kind words and just such generous offers of a place to go and everything! Yesterday I felt the worst I've ever felt and then today a miracle!
Yoshi and I have a chance now! Holy God almighty, losing him would just be the worst thing imaginable. I love love love him sooooooooo much!
