I still don't understand why, but it remains that the only particularly effective advertising medium I have is to just answer questions on Yahoo Answers and then leave a link to my website in the 'sources.' I only get new customers if I do that. For a while in December I thought maybe my increased blogging was bringing new customers, but in January everything was back down again. I guess it was just the Christmas rush that had made the difference.
Meanwhile, I'm still at the new rented room in Minneapolis. It is so much nicer here than my sister's! I have FOOD. I hadn't really realized how deprived I was of meals at her house, but thing was there were no stores nearby where I could buy anything for myself, and so I either had to rely on what food was in the house already (which was rarely much of anything -- all they seemed to keep on hand was potato chips, and microwave macaroni for the kid) or on whatever my nemesis Kevin, the boyfriend, would cook -- and his cooking was terrible. Honestly, it would have been dumb for me to have thrown out his grandmother's recipes like he accuses me of doing, because those were the only things he made that were any good. (And they'd never let me cook the dinners over there when I asked.) Tonight I had the first rice in months I've had that wasn't well on its way past rice into the realm of gruel. The last two nights I made food for myself and ate till I was full -- and good full, not 'if I eat more of this I'll begin to gag because it's so gross' full.
Now sadly I still need to figure out what I can do with myself after Feb 12th. I can stay here another week, maybe even till the end of the month, but I don't know what to do from there.

What about your parents? Or are you done with that for now?
