The Wheel is always turning

 I survived my first week of teaching undergraduates. Mostly. I'm pretty tired, and I haven't done all the work for my classes, and it looks like the work might be a little bit epic. Worried.

Children started school this week as well, and BetterHalf is still job hunting. He seems to have locked down a long-term sub job, but he has another interview for a longer-term sub job on Monday, so *fingers crossed*. My in-laws infused about $1200 into our month, and I quick-smart paid all the bills before I could fritter it away. I haven't bought my school books yet, and they are all checked out of the library, so I'm problem-solving that. We applied for food stamps and got approved, so that should be along. I think once BetterHalf gets any kind of a job, we won't qualify anymore, but for the six weeks we are eligible, it will be helpful. If it ever gets here.

I'm foolishly checking the mail for an apartment deposit refund and a utility refund. Not sure how likely the first is and how timely the latter will be.

The house is mostly put together, but it feels a little strange with just us.
