Durka-Durka-Muhammed-Jihad!!
Well, other than having some leg cramps from dialysis this morning my day was going fairly well. Short day at school, no physics homework, and history was....well, history.
And then my wife called me.
I know that I previously posted that one of my goals for the coming year was to stop bitching and complaining and now I'm about to violate that goal.
For the last several months, the family budget has more and more been operating in the negative. We've fallen behind in our rent and luckily, the university (they're the landlords as we live in UCSD housing) has been allowing us to play 'catch up' on the back rent providing that we're not late with it again. My wife called me to tell me that she talked to the apartment management and that we're basically got until the middle of next week to cough up all of the back rent....all $3800 worth.
Now, why am I posting about such lovely news?
Well, I have to come to the blogsphere, hat in hand, to ask for help. If anyone can donate anything, I would be very thankful. Anything at all.
I have trouble asking because well.....I'm basically supposed to pull myself up by my own bootstraps. Normally, I have - several times, in fact, but being as sick as I am these days I face a huge Catch-22.
While I'm not restricted to a wheelchair or a hospital bed, I still can't work because of the severe fatigue I deal with. And the Catch-22 here is that if I could get a job, any prospective employer wouldn't hire me because I'd be a 'medical liability' and wouldn't be able to contribute 100% to my job; Geez, I face this even after I graduate from UCSD and can call myself an engineer....at least, I'll face this until I get a transplant.
I have to ask anyone/everyone for a little help and can honestly tell you that my family isn't living 'high-on-the-hog' lately - we've cut out every non-essential 'luxury' just to save money. As I posted last night, I brought my kid up to school to let her use the Internet for a homework assignment.
It's days like this that make me want to just go home and crawl into bed for a week.
Thanks for listening.

This is off topic, but I got tagged into a silly blog game and decided to accept. Now it's your turn.
The rules are:
"Each player of this game starts with the 6 weird things about you. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says you are tagged in their comments and tell them to read your blog."
Here’s my post:
