Someday I seriously doubt I can answer yes to this question. Last night was most definitely one of those times. At times when I cannot sleep or am feeling a bit anxious I simply get in my car and just take a drive. usually I hit the 101N and drive no farther than Camarillo. Well…I guess last night I just got way too into my ipod and before i knew it the 101 signs started to read “San Francisco”. Excuse me? Where the F’ am I? Oh somehow I managed to not recognize any of the exits for Camarillo and was now on the edge of….Santa Barbara!!!

Let me jsut say this was a much longer “drive” than I planned on and by this time I’m hungry. So while searching for the 101S entrance I spot a McDonalds. Score. I had been wanting a Shamrock shake for weeks now but haven’t gotten on yet. Perfect time NOW. Pulling into the drive thru I notice there’s only 1 car before me; yeah! Did I mention it’s almost 3am by now? Finally I reach the squawking box only to discover the woman working doesn’t speak any English! Um isn’t that a prerequisite to work the drive thru or any job? After about 10 tries I finally figure it out that the woman’s trying to tell me that there’s no ice cream after 12am. WHAT?! After all this and still no Shamrock Shake!!! Ugh.

Finally about 4am I get my ass back home and into bed. Not really the plan I was going with at the start but it all did make me laugh a whole bunch at myself. Thank the lord I can do that! And tonight I got my freakin’ Shamrock Shake!!!

Between last week and this week I would like to just scream and chuck something at the city of Los Angeles. Come on give a girl a break here!

To begin my fun filled week, I struck out three times with possible job leads. Yep, still sitting on my couch. Hence the greater amount of blogs going on here. Then I decide to be productive and get my annual eye exam. Ohh bad idea. First I have to say no matter what at least my eye sight hasn’t gotten worse but I do find out my lovely former employers cancelled my vision insurance plan. BUT I’ve been paying for it for the past four months. Nice, eh? Instead of my exam being free it cost me $185 which I do not have at the moment.

To redeem the day I decide to go get my passport and student visa photos taken at my local AAA office. An hour later I have four decent photos. Later that night I check my paperwork….um…I need 6 just for the student visa and these 6 photos have to be the oddest size. Obviously not the same size photos used for U.S passports. Ugh. Luckily I can scan the little suckers and resize them.

After I get my photos I run by Target. Keep in mind money is tight right now. I go, buy some groceries because they are cheaper at Target than the grocery store, go to pay for my parking. 1 hour is free there but my photos took an hour so I go to pay my $1.00 for 1 1/2 hr of parking. Wait, what’s this? Ohh West Hollywood raised the price to $1.50 for over an hour. Seriously. To make matters worse, the next day I go to grab the case of Diet coke I bought only to discover it’s not in my trunk. Where is it? Oh, stupid me forgot it on top of the parking ticket pay machine. Insert head beating against the wall here.

To end my super fun week….No unemployment check in the mail. In a month I’ve received one check. Just one. Keep in mind a month of unemployment doesn’t even cover my rent and Cobra payment. I’m drowning! Throw me life preserver please! Did I mention I couldn’t finish my drawing for class? Why you ask? Oh cause it decided to rain here. Yes, the three days a year it rains in LA it decided to do one the exact day I needed to sit outside for hours to draw. Ugh. Keep your fingers crossed that this week goes much better….
