meeting with nurse went pretty well, again.
i can't tell if... there is some communication between peoples that i don't really know about... or not. i don't suppose it matters...
wait and see what they say about lab accommodations, anyway. try not to talk myself out of science / med... give it a chance. maybe people are rooting for me. people who... can help.
i love my new shoes. i'm sorta still a little ambivalent about the color... but i like them being blocky. not having color contrast. there is something i like about that. but the soles are pretty flexible, indeed. and the soles are... shaped, a bit. so they naturally do bend just where you want them to at the ball of your foot. they really do encourage you to walk lightly on the forefoot... outside of forefoot. they feel pretty firm - almost tight - compressive - around the arch... but heaps of room out front so i really feel my feet can splay... and they hold firmly... they aren't shifting about... no blisters... feet aren't wiggling about in them at all... really really really light almost like wearing nothing... amazing... wonderful things.. honestly... and i have a tendency to kick / scuff a hole in the left inside front part of the toe... and i'm not kicking my feet when i'm walking at all... scuffing the ground a little with learning to, uh, curl my toes back a bit more when they are in the air... but i think that will come right... f*ck*ng pain in the *ss to get into, though. and they don't have a grippy bit at the back to help pull them on...
the website that didn't process my payment... did process my payment. just after the first lot of shoes arrived. so, uh, blue shoes half a size down arriving too now.
at least i love them. i'm curious how the sizes will wear in... happy to have a couple pairs of them... but it puts my account in overdraft... even once i've transferred emergency backup funds over (which i can't get out without transferring them through) still deficit... i think it will smooth over next week... then a fee at the end of this month... it will be okay... but makes this week a bit tough... and i suppose i've learned that it is a good idea to hide cash away someplace for emergencies like this...
kind of annoyed about it all... i need to see mother next week. her old computer died so giving her my old black macbook. have been setting it up for her... and she likes scrabble and card games... its running 10.5.8... it used to be a pain in the *ss with trying (and failing to update) every five minutes... but i'm using it now and its great! it's stopped trying to update! and it works pretty great, really. i mean... i-tunes died. but vox works fine. VLC works fine. safari is doing okay - but i can't find a backup (not opera or firefox)... anyway... i thought i had some extra money so i brought her scrabble and cardgames from the mac store... then... finding i didn't. aargh.
still... something nice for her. which is nice, i guess. since she's been nice to me with little bits of money sometimes for shoes and things like that... anyway... i think she will love the new computer... she should really get an i-pad or something like that... but she's still on dialup. but then her last computer... jeepers... it's the second computer i had as an undergrad... got it around 1998 ffs. f*ck knows what operating system it was... might be 95 ahahahahahaha. curvy screen... she's gonna love the mac book oh yeah.
i'll give her some chemistry lectures :)
