Good news, bad news and whining.

The good news is..

We got the apartment!

This means no more drug dealers living downstairs, no more carbon monoxide leaks, no more lead paint, no more fire hazards and crazy people. I can't wait. We move to the new place on April 1st. I am sending our current landlord the notice tomorrow. I guess one of the drawbacks is that we have to purchase a refrigerator and stove, but at least they'll be new just like everything else in the place! It's such a gorgeous flat and I can't wait to move in and have friends over to visit!

The bad news is I did our taxes and we owe the federal government $800! We have both made adjustments so this doesn't happen next year. With the amount we'll be giving during 2006, we better get thousands back next year!

And now, for the whining: My eyes are killing me and I'm pretty sure it's because I've been sitting in front of this computer for hours on end trying to put together a presentation. Combined with bad posture and the propensity of my head to spawn migraines, it's a recipe for pain. This would be the second migraine this week (the one I have presently) and the fifth migraine in two weeks. I have some new medication that is supposed to stop them, but it ain't working. The only thing that can take these headaches away is Relpax, which I have to score from my mother...who is an hour away. Only 2 more hours, then I can go home, relax and prepare to watch American Idol which - hold on to your seats - John might actually watch with me tonight!!!! Also, the Grammy Awards are on tonight and Project Runway. I'm such a loser for being obsessed with these reality shows, but whatever. I do my time in the intellectual world, my brain deserves these breaks!

Ta.
