I get shoved into the Claustrophobia Magnet in 2 weeks so they can decide which surgery to perform.

Just remove it and get a robot arm

Risky, but worth it

Poor car. It got on the window power buttons and I hope that things don't start to corrode.

I don't like my job. It's minimum wage, it's slow, it attracts rude and bossy people and pretentious and dickhead managers. But it's not like there's much opportunities for money in this town unless you are high up in the tourism industry. 

I want to get out of town, but I'm stuck here for another year. I want to be able to just talk a walk without worrying so much, but there's nothing for someone without money to do. No city for at least an hour's drive.

I miss my friends. I miss my family. I'm barely making it check to check.

It feels like I wasted the last year and a half of my life and I feel like I got suckered into it.

Santa Fe, New Mexico: The land of scams, rich old white people, and visible ghetto lines.

I'm not really the best at finding new friends in an area, but a few pieces of advice that might help with both your budget and things to do...


Pour your energy into something positive in your life outside of work, given where you live I'd recommend biking and/or hiking. Its something that's entirely free, the weather around you is good enough all year round to do it, and as a bonus its exercise.

On top of that - cooking, especially doing stuff that's 'on a budget'. You can do some seriously cheap and good tasting stuff with a slow cooker and the right recipes. Think of it as a challenge to take the mental edge off.

I would kill for a bike...but buying one is a bit out of my price range right now. A nice bike (street bike, not off-road) will probably cost, what, 400-500? It'd probably take a few months to save up. And despite being in New Mexico, the daily high is under 60 degrees and windy for most of the year. Starting next week the transition to cold starts.

I would really like a bike though.


Cooking is definitely in my life. Trying to find a good curry recipe at the moment.
