The good, the bad, and the whatever

apocalypsosFive good things:
1. I picked up one of those woven hay mat things at the pet store yesterday for the chinchillas, shaped like an in/out tray and meant for cages with wire bottoms. With most of those hay things, they're torn to shreds within twenty-four hours. Those little fuckers are fast. They haven't chewed this one since yesterday, though, and they're both taking turns sitting in it. It's kind of hilariously well-behaved of them.
2. The one day I had to work last work week, I got a list of the story ideas that I didn't put on my to-do list down on paper so that I can work on them later. So now I just have to sketch them out and put them aside.
3. I filled up my gas tank the other night and it cost me fifteen bucks. Granted, I have a small gas tank, but STILL.
4. The tooth with the root canal hasn't hurt since he did it, which is a nice change from, oh, the past three years or so. Stupid overcharging previous dentist.
5. I can finish GPW by New Year's. No, I can, I swear.
Five bad things:
1. I needed to get the stuff I got for the chins but man, oh, man, I am SO BROKE right now. I'm just lucky the only thing I really have to buy for the next two weeks is soda. And maybe milk.
2. I would have been much better off financially if I'd turned down the layoff this week. Unfortunately, if I'd turned it down, I probably would have been mandated for this week anyway.
3. That tank of gas has to last me until January 1st, if not longer. Yaaaaaay.
4. Oh, sure, that tooth doesn't hurt, but the cavity and wisdom tooth on the other side of my mouth are fucking THROBBING. The only reason I'm not on the phone with the new dentist about it is that I've handled worse and my appointment for this week is only two days away so I can wait. Then again, I'm not all that sure he'll be able to do anything about them. I may just have to put up with them until he finishes fixing the tooth on the other side of my mouth so that I'm not entirely without sides of the mouth I can chew on. Urgh.
5. I may need a word count wrangler to finish this book by the end of the year, I swear to God. My current waking schedule of take bath, throw on robe, lie on couch all day, check email and LJ way too often, whimper about my teeth, nurse a two-liter of Pepsi all day, and intermittently nap is unsurprisingly NOT HELPING. I think I'm just terrified at this point that it's boring as hell and not worth finishing and this thing where I'm sitting on the couch alone in my apartment in the middle of winter is like I'm begging for my depression to come back. *sigh* I know better than to insulate myself during the winter and/or when I'm trying to write, AND YET.
The whatever:
1. Also, I need to do laundry. Which isn't really a necessity considering I'm not really going anywhere anytime soon but ... well, it might be easier if I had the landlord fix the washing machine and dryer. Just a thought.
