Beaverton and Other Randomness

So, in Beaverton again. Last night was nuts. Drove Sara's car to the airport with her cat mewling along with the music and following her dad. I parked skillfully in between two improperly parked cars, and then it was off to meet Sara at baggage claim. Of course, when I saw her coming down the escalator I bounded over to say "HI!" and then we drove to our apartment. Downside was we had to unload her dad's car into our apartment and his car had to be parked all the way across the complex from us due to limited visitor parking. I was in pain and tired by the end, and we have one more car to unload and then my stuff at Julie's house. My body is already screaming, lol. A thought I had was if I worked so much in moving and going up and down stairs, how on earth have I GAINED weight? This is so not fair.

Snowflake is the best cat ever =] She is cute, loves to be loved on, and is pretty easy to take care of. We got her cat grass today and loved on her every chance we could. She likes to rub on our computers and shed on anything that is black. Good thing our carpet is the same color as her =]

Today has also been pretty eventful so far, but also very productive. We have Sara's car mostly unpacked, but our living room looks like a train hit it, lol. We now have trash cans, and soaps for the kitchen and so I was able to unpack and wash all the fine china and it is all put away nicely =]. We got shower curtains and put them up, can't wait to get more decorative stuff, but that will have to wait until I get money =[. We got food stamps. Well Sara did, but since we eat together, then we got food stamps. lol. I officially don't qualify because I'm a student and don't work. Somehow that doesn't seem to make sense...oh our government makes me laugh.

Another thing that happened today is I left my wallet in the cart at Target. It was an easy mistake since my wallet is the same color as the cart, but still frustrating. The store said the employee found it when he gathered the carts, either him or the person who looked inside to find my name decided it would be cool to take my $40 out  before giving it back to me. I can't afford to lose that money =[ When I noticed it was missing a lot of worries came to my mind, like how am I going to put gas in my car now, and even besides that, how am I going to pay for the bus when I'm out of gas? I don't want to have Sara worry that this is going to be a regular occurrence, because I budgeted well with what little money I had, I didn't budget losing that money. I just don't like having to depend on help yet again. The most frustrating thing is that when I say I have no extra money, I'm not even kidding. All of my income until june 8th is rent money, after that I'm little better off since my budget will start over. grrr this sucks, but Sara is being amazing through all of it. I'm glad.
