Stress

Today was somewhat stressful.
I woke up at 6 as I do in most mornings, in pain. My arm hurts constantly. Sometimes I get an hour here or there where I don't feel it. I'm getting anxious about what I'm going to do once I'm in school and I need my arm. I injured my radial nerve in February. I've been told it "can take a long time to get better". At this point I just try not to use it much, but I think I need to get a sling for it. I'm starting to get tingling in my thumb and finger. I really really hope it gets better sometime. I can't rock climb, play volleyball, hold the phone how I normally do, lift, reach, hold, keep my arm in one position for a long time, on and on and on.
So I found a place to live...it's pretty great: http://eugene.craigslist.org/apa/746780466.html
I have put a substantial amount of money down, but not heard from the guy. He called two of my references, and told them both I had the place. But he never told me. I'm comforted by the fact that we have a mutual friend, but it's still worrisome. And why is the craigslist ad still up? (Just a few minutes after I posted this, it was deleted. Yay! But still no call...) I left him a message to fax me a rental agreement if everything is good. That was this morning.
Today I also found out my car's transmission has a leak. $1200 to fix it. I get one more paycheck for the next 2 years, all the rest is coming from loans. Not the best news. There are a few other things that should be done as well. I may be getting a new car. Or something. Either way it's not budgeted for.
A good thing for today? Aaron's mom called me to let me know I could have all their raspberries for the next week. I got 8 cups and I'm going to make jam.
