So...

I'm working at OSU, for a little bit less take-home than I was getting from unemployment. I'm going to have to live on a four-day paycheck for all of December. And I'm learning about multimedia streaming without the benefit of documentation.

Re: the last, as per usual, it *looks* like I have everything set up properly, but nothing is working, and I have no idea why.

After Chibi's surgery, I'm almost $3000 dollars in debt when I was willing to live with $2000. And I'd been hoping for a job that paid, at a minimum, about 20% more than I'm making. And I don't know if the job will ever turn full time, so it's entirely possible that I'm wasting both time and money by working there.

So I've been a bit depressed. And I've been coping, by which I mean "surviving", but it isn't easy.

The good news is that I've been able to keep busy, and not dwell on the things that bother me most, so I've been able to keep dipping downward, but never quite getting caught in a full blown depressive episode.

The bad news is that I've been out of it the past couple days, and I know right now that it's probably best that I don't try to catch up with my friends list.

Things aren't as bad as this post might make them seem, and I know I don't update that often anyway, so there's not much need for a "I might not be updating all that much" message, but that's the news of my life at the moment.
