The Good and the Bad...

The Good:

[livejournal.com profile] musesrealm downloaded the season premiere of Supernatural last night for free from iTunes, so I went over and watched it. Much squee-age was had. It was shiny and awesome, and satisfied me as a fangirl. Still gonna watch it on TV tonight (unless I space, which is entirely likely, since I frequently lose track of time...).

The Bad:

As I was going to sleep last night, I had the horrible thought of my parents losing the house because of their medical bills. I mean, this house is worth over $200K, what with appreciation and the work my dad has put into it over the last 23 years we've lived here. He finished the freaking basement, added two bathrooms, central air from a swamp cooler, created a master suite...yeah. This house has seen many improvements.

It was either after I'd fallen asleep and was just slightly dreaming, or just the way my thoughts wander when I'm trying to get to sleep, but I had these vivid mental pictures of trying to pack up all our combined shit to move out of the house so we could sell it to pay my parents' medical bills.

And I nearly started bawling. I mean, everything must change and all, but the thought of my parents having to sell the house before they're ready made me horribly sad.

The Meh:

I work tomorrow and Saturday. No work Sunday, then working Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday next week. But it's also awesome because that's 21 hours this week and 24 next week. Which means moolah! And I get my birthday off, so much yay. I can't decide where I want to go for dinner. Maybe no where....

Anyway...yeah. I'm going to make more icons.

How are you adjusting to showing up for work after several months of leisure time? I'd think it would take quite a bit of getting used to.

I hope that your parents don't have to sell their house. I'd think that as long as they continue making payments, they should be ok. Where trouble comes in, as I understand it, is when payments are neglected for long periods of time.

It hasn't really phased me yet. I'm trying to be careful, though. I've written down my schedule on a little whiteboard on my door and in my planner in my purse. Hopefully this will prevent me from doing anything stupid like missing a shift or being hideously late.

My mind tends to come up with worst case scenarios when I'm going to sleep. Those are the times when I was picturing what would've happened if one or both of my parents had died from their medical emergencies. Not fun, but at least it doesn't (seem to) give me nightmares...
