 So much drama. So, so much drama.  I am to exhausted from talking about it and dealing with it today, I can’t bear to begin elaborating at this point.  Let’s just say, my neighbours are assholes, I have filed a police report (although nothing can be done about it) and the assholes are getting evicted. 

My anxiety levels have been OUT OF CONTROL today, as you can imagine.  I am calming down now that we are tucked in our apartment for the night, but shit, guys. 

I promise I will relay the entire story, just give me a day or two to get over things a bit.  

Other than that, it has come to our attention that my brother will be going overseas for a month around July/August.  This may fit in very well with our travel plans, or it may not work out any different.  We MAY be able to travel together, having the opportunity to clear out and move out of this apartment and into my mother’s house.  The issue was that we can’t both live at my sister’s house, along with the dog.  There is simply no room, and Ernie gets quite mean with Boss after they’ve spent a few hours together.  Ernie is grouchy, like his mama.

It all still depends on variables like my visa interview and money.

Which reminds me:  I should mention that we have received a requisition for some extra documents as far as income and M’s efforts to maintain a domicile in the US.  I am currently working on that and hope to get it sent out early next week.  I didn’t get a chance to check my PO box today, but I think my police report should have arrived, which means I can send off my visa application (to a different department) too.  Just a slight delay, hopefully it won’t be too much of a pain in the ass.  I just really want to get this interview scheduled so we can look at concrete travel dates.

Sold 14 DVDs to one person today, which is nice.  Have also sold my Seinfeld DVDs.  The pile has diminished again and today I was sad at letting go of "See No Evil, Hear No Evil".  

My painful toe from the other day has been diagnosed as cellulitis.  Thanks for all who were concerned, I was pretty worried about it myself, considering how weird it all was!  We concluded that perhaps I had nicked my skin while cutting my toenails recently (I have a habit of cutting them too short) and that’s how I got the infection.  My toe is still tender, but I am no longer hobbling, and I have a very large antibiotics dose to take several times a day, and probiotics to keep the good bacteria in check. 

Sore legs, and I am looking forward to getting into bed and trying to relax.  Tomorrow is Friday and I need to get a bunch of groceries to bring home.  M and I are spooked after today’s events (again, sorry to keep you in the dark) and don’t really want to leave the apartment this weekend.
