Art Colony: cough cough cough choke

I think maybe running two blocks to catch the bus yesterday night after smoking a cigarette was a bad idea. I couldn't catch my breath afterwards, and I kept on coughing worse and worse over time. B.f. was scared and wanted to take me to the doctor. He ended up hugging me tight to try to keep me from 'seizing up' and coughing again.
He keeps on telling me not to depreciate myself. He even gets mad at me when I "diss" myself. He had a stomachache this morning, probably because he thought it would be smart to add hot chocolate mix to coffee grounds while brewing the coffee which made the finished product taste kinda funky, so I knew that he probably should eat something wholesome like a cheeseburger. So we went and got cheeseburgers for lunch today and I think that solved the problem a bit. But he's damn frustrated and I'm frustrated for him. No matter what, he's applied for like 30 jobs and I'm not exaggerating and he hasn't really gotten any calls back. He really wants a job.
I can't think of any reason why people shouldn't hire him, either--he's a hard worker, he's cute, smart, funny. All-around awesome. I love him so much. It makes me so sad to see him like this. Having to sell his car, and not knowing if he'll be able to find a job, it's really stressful. Plus he's worried about my health (and don't worry, I'm gonna MAJORLY cut back on the smoking). But I just wish that things would fall into place, really.
Something nice, though: our nice landlady came up last night with a bowl of homemade chicken soup for us to share. So I painted her an original thank-you card and returned the bowl this morning!
the reason b.f. could use the cheering up provided by chicken soup was because we went shopping last night for a few random things that are rather important--vitamins, Clorox wipes, listerine, makeup--and it ended up costing $30, which frustrated him VERY much. He kept on asking "How could those few things end up costing that much?!" Plus, at Kinko's, they didn't have a box that would remotely fit the Korg so we are going to have to make our own box. Paying for shipping for the 2 items is going to be a bitch. In the words of B.f., "why is money such a pain in the ass? As soon as it seems we have some extra money, it's gone in a week." I just really wish that there was a reality TV show made about us or something so that he / we could get recognized for trying our darndest all the time.
