I'm on hold right now with the Oklahoma Employment Security Commissoin, trying to file for unemployment. I went down to the unemployment office, only to be given a little card with a phone number and told that it's all automated now. I completed the voicemail application, but now I have to wait for a customer service rep, or whatever they're called (compensation application specialist? Ah, here's the recorded computer voice to tell me now. Claims specialist. I knew it was some kind of specialist.) to complete my application. I've already been on hold for half an hour. And as I understand it, once this "specialist" completes my application, they'll send me a filing packet, so I'll have to wait for that, then fill out the paperwork, then mail that back and wait for it to be filed, before I can even hope to start getting any money. I sure hope I get my tax refund soon, because I have $2 and some change in my purse, and that's it. And that, my friends, is not going to cover the bills.

On a happier note, I borrowed my mom's credit card to go and buy my text books, but when I got there my financial aid had already been processed and the book store had it on file, so I didn't have to borrow any of my mom's money. So I've got all of my books for the semester. Well, all but one that they won't get in until a week from Friday. This is really something for me. I was always one of those students who didn't get all of my books until about a week after school actually started.

Also went to the chiropractor. He wants me to come in on Wednesdays now for traction therapy (in addition to Tuesdays and Thursdays for adjustments), and he gave me a bunch of stretching exercises to do. What he gave me looks a lot like some of my yoga positions, so I'm wondering if I can't just get back to my regular workouts. I suppose I should wait and ask him on Thursday. Wouldn't want to mess around and screw anything up and have to start over again.

Did I mention that the chiropractor's kind of cute?

Did I mention that I'm still on hold? Well, I am.
