woe.

So I checked back on the loan, and the amount I'm approved for won't even make a dent in my credit cards. Worse, the payment for the loan would be slightly more than what I pay as a minimum payment on the one card I'd be able to get rid of with the loan.

I am well and truly up against the wall, my friends. I think I'll just be able to get through the next few months by the skin of my teeth--but my long-term plans are screwed. I've had to charge a lot of things this year, and it's now catching up with me.

( more wah )

Yeah, I know, it could be a lot worse. Seriously. But that doesn't erase the huge load of worry I've eased myself into over the past two years.

and wah.

The video store I usually go to doesn't have any Ghost Hunters episodes available for rent. That really sucks.

At least there's a bright spot

My camera, against all odds, arrived today. Fixed, free of charge, by Sony. Well, I paid the shipping there, but that's negligible, compared with a camera that works again. I feel like my right arm has been restored.

And now I can start taking pictures of clothing to put on eBay. At least I can get a few weeks' worth of extra eBayage before I head out to AZ.

Also, new glasses. Unfortunately, this pair has more distortion than the last, so I'll be having a few headaches before I've adjusted. I think they look funky, though. Funky in a good way.

And I must point out--

...my SnuSa gift has been posted!
