Dictated, not read

So today marked my 7th straight day in a row of work. I didn't work full 9 hour shifts every day, but I did work at least 6 hours each of the last 7 days.

( cut for really long story )

Saturday was insane. My grandmother woke up blind in one eye and called us about 4 minutes after my mother left to meet a friend for lunch and shopping. So my father was freaking out, and I was trying to get him to calm down and deal with it while I tried to get ready for the dinner party we were supposed to be having that night. My father and I were supposed to go shopping for all the things we needed to finish the party preparations, but he ended up taking my grandmother to the emergency room and I did everything else myself.

None of this would have been so bad except that out of 6 family members that live in Colorado, my dad and I were the only ones who knew about my grandmother. We called everyone else, no one was around or had their phones on. Including my mother, who, like my father, has a cell phone that she just never turns on. I've had the "what's the point of having it if you never turn it on?" conversation with them before, but I think this time I finally got through. At least I hope I did.

Still haven't found a job, I'm putting in more applications every day. I really need to get some kind of income because I'm looking at a lot of dental work soon, and I have no insurance to cover it. My parents told me they will pay for it, or rather lend me the money to pay for it and I can pay them back whenever I get a job.

I think as far as moving to Seattle goes, I will be making plans to move around January so I have time to get things together... considering the rest of my boxes haven't come yet. the one that did come I have to make a claim on, and the woman I talked to sounded less than optimistic that they would let my claim go through. In fact she all but said I was screwed. Fan-tastic.
