Progressing...

I now hate Best Buy. Well, at least the manager of the soon to be new local Best Buy.

I went to the 3rd interview and was told that I was everything they could want or need in an employee, but since I've been unemployed for almost 2 years I'm a "risk". WHAT THE FUCK is that supposed to mean? I sent several emails to their head office and haven't had a single response. Managers can be such assholes.

We told our landlord that we will not be renewing our lease. It's not that I hate this place, but it's small and so poorly heated. It's also got mice. I've killed 3 with my shoe (not with the stink). We told the superintendent about them and he gave us some traps and poison. We also get TONS of spiders and centipedes in here.

We have found a new place. Much nicer too. It's about 900 square feet and all inclusive. Free laundry to boot! It's a much nicer neighborhood. There is a nice park with a wading pool less than 100 feet down the street, there are 2 schools within walking distance (1 public, 1 catholic) and there are lots of kids around too. The only real downside is it's a bit further from downtown and the grocery stores.

We had to take Logan to the hospital last night. He got up yesterday morning with a bit of a fever and he was having some trouble breathing. He's asthmatic and we've had a smog advisory over the last week so we didn't pay too much attention to his cough, especially since it wasn't sounding like anything more than a bit of irritation.

So we gave him his puffers and some advil. His temp went down but his breathing didn't improve. At noon we gave him his puffers again and still no improvement. At 6:30 we gave him yet another dose and still no change to his breathing. It was labored and shallow. So off we went to the hospital. They gave him some Prednozone and more ventolin. He could breath again!

It terrifies me when he has a sever attack like that. I've been through them myself and I know how hard it can be. Trying to imagine my son going through it. No matter how calm I seem to be to everyone around me all I could think is that my son is suffocating.

Today he woke up with a bit of a cough and that's it. He's breathing normally and has no fever. Thank god.

Nova is doing fine. He's afraid of the rain so takng him out to do his business today hasn't happened. He just wimpers are tries to get back indoors. Funny stuff... Untill I have to clean up after him.

As far as other jobs go. I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I'm thinking about going to school, assuming I qualify for O.S.A.P, and taking some business courses. Other than that I'm thinking about asking the local tattoo shop if they need an apprentice.
I'd be working there for free, but maybe I could get some ink done too. If they do piercing maybe I can get those done too.....
