First of all, I'd like to apologize t' those of you who've left me well-wishes either by way of comment or DM. The week, but especially the last few days, have been a whirlwind of emotional occurrences and I jus' haven't had the energy to sit down and give them the time-slash-replies they deserve. Know that I appreciate you all so much.

Now, for the actual update...

For the very first time in my life, I'm going to be completely on my own. I've secured myself an apartment; 820+ square feet of sound-proofed personal space. The floorplan isn't ideal, but the location of the building is, being only a half-block away from the place where I'm going to be attempting to get a job. And, best of all, the 'rents are going to be footing the monthly bill.

I'm going to start moving in later on today. It'll be a slow process, because most of the furnishings I've got in mind are going to need to be bought and assembled before they're place, but it's a small price to pay for finally having freedom away from the root of so many of my problems. (Metaphorically speaking, of course. This is still going to put a serious dent in my bank account.)

Assuming that nothing goes horrifically wrong during this transition, expect to hear back from me once I'm all settled, which should take another week or two. Until then, my time on the 'net in general is going to remain limited.

See ya when I see ya!
