Are we there yet?



I have never wanted so much for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind to based on a true story. Nevermore have I wanted to erase bad memories.
It was pretty much inevitable from the time that Andy moved out that Adam and I were going to have to
move out. That day comes tomorrow. I've rented a U-Haul and Adam has secured us a storage unit to put furniture and boxes in until we move in to permanent digs. I'll be moving in with my friend and co-worker Randy and his partner Loc in their place
in Berkeley. I'll be living there until around August which is when I'll be moving in to Sean's apartment in El Sobrante. He and I and our friend Brian are going to split the rent at Sean's place.
Adam will be house-sitting at Andy's house for a couple weeks and then he'll be house sitting for our friends David and Mary so his situation is slightly more bleak. He'll be living on a couch for a few weeks but then after that, he doesn't really have anywhere squared away.

What exacerbates this whole annoying transition is the fact that neither Adam nor I are financially fit enough to improve our lives. Even if/when we get settled in more permanent homes, we'll still be broke, barely able to pay bills, barely able to keep food in the kitchen, and overall just unhappy. Unless we can find better paying jobs, we will remain this way. I'm hoping to change this within the next year.
Once I can get myself back in school I can start exercising plans for my future, I can start crawling out of this slump. I feel like a child in the backseat of a car during a road trip saying "How much longer?" "I gotta pee." I'm hungry" etc. Life is a mean Dad that wants you to pee in a gatorade bottle and eat that nasty Clif Bar because we still have a long way to go before we get to another rest stop and will be damned if he's going to let you put your wiener out of the car to take a leak. Dad's car. Dad's rules!!!
