Banana Bread Anyone?

Dear Portland,
I woke up with a massive headache today. First one since I have been here. Well maybe that's not true, but it was definitely the worst. I got up at 1pm, made some tea, and got back into bed. After a couple Ibprofen and the last of my dried apple rings, I started to feel better.

A couple hours later I got a call from and unknown number. It was my case worker Tammy from the Department of Public Assistance. She told me that I needed to find a way to get my last pay stub to her by 6pm today, or I would not be getting my new benefits (why didn't she tell me this earlier?). It was 4:30pm. Uh-oh. Because I had my last paycheck sent to my Dads house (so he could deposit in my bank account) in the safety of your arms Portland, I was worried. She said I could fax it. Well normal people don't really have access to fax machines. So I got on skype hoping my dad was online and he was! I firmly instructed him to scan the pay stub and email it to me ASAP. And, having the totally super awesome father that I do, it was done in 10 minutes. He emailed it to me and I forwarded it to Tammy and in 11 minutes I will have money for food. I panicked, and it was unnecessary as usual, but I need groceries and anything that might get in the way would have made me freak out.

I finished one arm warmer of the color work I learned yesterday and I'm happy to report there are no technical mistakes. I just wish I had made some better design choices. It will turn out fine and is not a big deal at all, I'm just a perfectionist. I thought it was going to take me 3-4 days just to finish one but I would say about 8 hours each as apposed to the 4 hours without color work. And it's worth it. I also found myself with my project about 5 inches from my face until I put my glasses on and could work comfortably. Unfortunately I need to get my glasses adjusted because they keep falling down my nose which makes me feel like an 80 year old woman.

Tomorrow is going to be a good day. Cleaning my apartment, GOING TO GET GROCERIES, and then baking! I'm going to make chocolate chip banana bread if those bananas I saved in the freezer are still usable.

It was 31 degrees today and I went outside without socks or a scarf. I think I'm acclimating.
