Still haven't gotten my camera yet. It is in-transit tho, so I'm ready to play with it when it gets here.
I most likely won't be going anywhere on vacation. As much as I want (and probably need) to leave town, I really really really need to move out. Although there are quiet moments at home, they are far from peaceful. I've been doing what I can to save my money so I can move. There was/is an opportunity to move into a 2-bedroom in my friend's building downtown, and I would LOVE to live there, but I would have to find another living situation for my dog, and I don't like that idea. She had talked to her property manager about their sister property that allows dogs, but when she heard that the people that live in that building are a bit "ghetto," she didn't even want to consider it. So I started looking for solo-living situations. As much as I love her, location is what matters most to me, next to the interior. Who my neighbors are, not so much considering I'll have my dog. As long as there are no registered sex offenders... or at least those convicted of violent sex crimes against women.
I did find a $400/mo studio that I called about today. If all works out well, I'll be able to live there with all my babies and manage to live on my own. It's sad that I can't afford anything more, but hopefully with our new store opening up in September, I'll get a raise. I haven't attempted to live on my own in a very long time, and I haven't paid for rent in just about the same amount and I'm due for my own place.
Anywho, that was a lot of rambling. With the way things are here at home, my heart and nerves can't take it anymore. There's too much fighting and tension. I know a lot of students who manage just fine on their own, so it's time I do the same.
Uh, that's all that's really going on right now. I'm a little worried about money but I'm willing to work my ass off in order to afford to live on my own.
My whole life story about money is old. I think it's time I change it.
Muchos besos!

When you live alone, you do have to change your gameplan a bit, safety-wise. I'm sure you're very cautious and aware.
