Waiting for that Phone Call
I still haven't heard back from Joyce about if I got that apartment in Burbank. I REALLY hope I get it. Otherwise I might have to pay a higher rent somewhere else...maybe around Dan's area.
I can't believe Geico stopped accepting credit cards. Bastards! I rack up points that way by using my credit card.... so, I decided to switch to Mercury. Another bonus was that I'm also gonna be saving an extra $100. Its kinda scary when I had to say I was living in Simi Valley (when I really don't)... I hope they don't find out. d'oh.
I'm about to email my sister about something I was thinking. She said in our conversation that sometimes she wonders what would have happened if she would have married someone who made more money than Khuong.. maybe she could afford a better house that would be next to a better school district... well, if she did marry this imaginary guy who made more... there are plenty of more 'what ifs' ... if she did choose that path.. Lan-Anh would definitely not be Lan-Anh. That type of guy might not have made the sacrifices that Khuong has made for Lan-Anh. He might not have been as good as a father as Khuong has been. So, you never know... The only thing you can hope for is that you married a good man. Does that make any sense? Its a valid point that I didn't come up with.... *sigh* sometimes my brain just isn't quick enough for these comebacks.
The Revlon Run/Walk even is this coming Saturday. I've been a terrible team captain. I wasn't able to find 20 bodies in order to make up the team. My fundraising skills have been a mess since all this drama and emotionally-draining week has happened. I sent out a few emails and it's wonderful to find that even when ppl are strapped for cash they're still willing to give a lil of what they got. So far I've been able to raise about $300. Pretty good. Of course, $100 is from me. d'oh.
Found out that through my insurance.. I'm able to see a therapist for 20 days out of the calendar year and it'll be a 20 buck copayment. Talked to Thao about maybe seeing a person at her clinic and it could be 15 bucks... although they will be students. I'm thinking of trying her place out first... but if it doesn't work out then I could go to someone through my insurance. Kinda scared of this whole process. I wasn't even sure what kind of therapist I'm supposed to look for... I'm guessing it'll be someone with a MFT (marriage and family therapy) degree. I don't know what this all will accomplish...but it's worth a try.
The other day Dan asked me if I was gonna be uncomfortable around his mom or family. I told him 'maybe'... it was his way to relate to me how he felt if he was around my family. So just my small 'uncomfortable-ness' would be many times more if I were in his shoes. Knowing that my family has this suspicious feeling of him or disliking him for whatever reasons... he didn't want to be around that. I can see his point of view. I can understand and respect that during this time he's still hurt. If he doesn't want to start the whole 'getting to know each other' process... that's fine. Heck right now with my whole trying to move out phase, I don't really want to deal with that issue... (although it rears its ugly head...and I know its still there... just wanting to be dealt with). That issue I don't know how to deal with... and maybe its something that Dan and I have to muddle through with. The bottomline is there has to be some compromises and I'll have to do a whole lot of 'mediating'. oh boy.
The meaning of mediating:
*To resolve or settle (differences) by working with all the conflicting parties: mediate a labor-management dispute.
*To bring about (a settlement, for example) by working with all the conflicting parties.
*To effect or convey as an intermediate agent or mechanism. v. intr.
*To intervene between two or more disputants in order to bring about an agreement, a settlement, or a compromise.
*To settle or reconcile differences.
*To have a relation to two differing persons or things. adj. (-t)

*Being in a middle position.
The meaning of compromise:
*A settlement of differences in which each side makes concessions.
*The result of such a settlement.
*Something that combines qualities or elements of different things
*A concession (<-why does the dictionary always have to use another word that has to be looked up?? Do the writers think MAYBE if a person doesn't know what 'compromise' means they'll maybe understand what 'concession' means)
