I'm in Dallas. With my sister. What a shocker...seriously.
I very much need to make an update and write many things down. I think that I will do that, but after this trip. Trouble is, I felt that I needed this trip quite a lot, but it has now drained my pocketbook. So, I am going to spend next week at home saving on gas.
I think it will be another good thing, though, because I can get things in order.
I did take some steps I can mention without a whole long, literate post.
I got myself health insurance. It is for part-time employees, so it may not be the most comprehensive, but it is fucking better than nothing. AND, it included part-time dental/vision. Thing is, I can't find any literature on what that entails. Probably one visit a year, which is fine. A dental check-up for them to tell me I have shit for teeth and a vision check-up for them to tell me my eyes have gotten a bit worse--gasp--here's a new scrip for contacts--yay! And then a trip to the doctor who will give me a new inhaler, just in case, a new scrip for my favorite allergy medication, and possibly something for my acne. Because I am nearly twenty-two and I still have acne.
I got a bank account. It's there. It's soon to be empty thanks to Dallas and having to pay for an extra tank of gas to get back and froth from Stillwater. But, I have one, and I am not going to regret getting it either.
I filed my taxes, but I didn't. Because I need my annual income whatever from last year, and I lost the flash drive all that info was on. So, I have to wait until I can pay twenty bucks to see last years W-2 from Old Navy--which I have to get to file last years state taxes--and I can add it up and e-file. That will be next Friday. Stupid.
Otherwise, I am in Dallas, and I am not going to regret it. Went to see dead people yesterday--the best part, sickeningly, were the fetuses. Fetal bone growth displays, where they highlighted the bones of the little babies and made their skin transparent so we could see said highlighted bone, was the absolute coolest. If you get a chance, go see Bodies, whenever it is in your city/the city you are in. It is very cool, and informative, and mostly very cool. Made me want to get back into school, too, so that I might one day get to touch the bones instead of just go see them in an exhibit.
Today, the aquarium, which better not be expensive, and then something else she no doubt will want to do that will cost money that I won't have.
Ah well, it's nice to be in a city and to not have to worry about work or anything but walking around and enjoying the absolutely lovely weather.
The transit system here, P.S., is way fucking cool. I am such a rapid transit nerd.
Also, thanks to Chetara, for putting the song the title and following lines are from into my brain.
'Cause I Know the Revenge is Sweet
