Well, I found out this morning that my eyecare insurance is a piece of horsecrap. I had to go to the eye doctor, because my eyes are about to laugh at me for the length of time these contacts have been in. Of a $300 bill because I was a first-time customer, the insurance company covered about $100. That's freakin' it. That means no dentist or doctor for awhile now. God, I hate money.

Until yesterday, I was being torn unevenly in two directions as to where I'd like to move. I was leaning toward moving into the city somewhere, ever so slightly leaning, because I want to get back to urban life. It's in my blood. Plus, urban life is where my friends and family are. However, work is up north, and I'm really tiring of spending all the money I do on gas, especially now that prices are certain to skyrocket since the heartless gas station owners use every excuse possible to raise prices. But now, good friends of mine (I withhold their names, so as not to jinx them, plus they may not want it widely known yet) are moving up that way, which means if I move into the city, I'll be a bazillion miles from them. So now I have some real thinking to do.

I've become jealous of my brother and several friends who live with their parents still. I thought about moving there for awhile to save some money, but I probably couldn't do that without upsetting the delicate balance that is currently going on at my parents' house with them, my two brothers and the two dogs. Also, if I moved there for a few months to save money, I'd have to give up Kazak during that time (not a huge thing, Gerard would probably just keep him for then). That's something I'd rather not do.

There are a couple interesting apartments in Wheeling that I've driven by that are very close to my work. However, I know nothing about them. Which brings up another thing pulling me toward the city: How long am I going to work out there? Will I move and then find a job in the city? That would suck. So we'll see...I've got some real thinking to do.

By the way, I stayed home from work today for the eye doctor's appointment, and now I'm going to do some shopping, take Kazak to get a bath and his nails clipped and my car for an oil change at my dad's work. So good luck finding me today.
