The past few days have been a whirlwind. I’ve moved into my apartment and got a cheap used twin mattress on craigslist to sleep on. It’s wonderful, really it is. It still doesn’t feel like a “home” yet, but I think that will take some time and other people visiting to make that happen.

Wow. I was feeling totally down today, then the last hour happened:
I passed my background check for the 1 bd place I’m hoping to get (not that I was worried…but still)
All my Plan B clients received very valuable leads from our services today (great since some are on free trials!)
Now, it’s bad that [...]
