December Journal
11 years ago
Seems I haven't written a journal in, way too long.
A lot of things have changed for me in the past few months.
In September, I was running low on funds. Through October, some time then, I sold my car. I miss that car. But, it was eating ALL my money. I mean, ALL of it.
I was going through a program called Jobstart through July and August. So, quite unfortunately, that really murdered my savings. I had no money left after that. The idea was to get me a job, but, they didn't get that for me, or any one else, for that matter.
So, I sold my car. I then bought what is called an Ebike. This is, at the core, a bicycle. However, it is equipped with an electric motor to drive the vehicle. My bike is, what some would call a "scooter" style. So, it's a bit of a wonky looking motorcycle.
In the next number of years, I'd like to get a motorcycle, though. Once I can afford it, that is.
I have also moved to a city. I did not live in a city before. Now I live in a city. This is scary. But interesting.
So, now, I'm in a city, living well enough, budget is tight, but I'm working on that. If you want to help me out, though, I'm not "begging for donations", but, if you want to throw money at me for no apparent reason, you can wire a payment to my paypal address, dectswolf (at) gmail (dot) com.
I expect nothing. Just a side note.
Moving on, living in city,
I have my own place. My "den in the sky", I call it. I basically live in an attic. It's a nice place, though, warm enough, but the air system is linked with the other two units. And everyone in this building smokes. I don't.
I also had to evacuate from my own den, ironically, just hours after hearing about the gas attack at MFF.
I believe someone may have emptied a can of Lysol somewhere, and it ended up venting up here. I literally couldn't breathe.
But, I got windows open, ran out, all was fine an hour later, more or less.
So, I got one of the two vents plugged off, so most heat comes from an electric radiator. Fine by me.
My home internet, yes I pay for my own, this is so strange, but cool. I have 100 gigs a month, so it's not too bad. I generally don't have to worry about it too much.
I do enjoy living on my own, though. No one ever bugs me, normally, to clean stuff. My mom does stop by most Thursdays, drops stuff off, or takes me shopping, and she does bug me from time to time, to clean my den. But, I manage well enough.
I'm quite amused, as it happens, at how the things I so often took for granted, I now have to think about. Internet? Getting it set up? I never had to worry about that. But now, I do. Or, did. I also have to monitor my usage, from time to time.
Food. While I do snack on stuff from time to time, I do try to cut back on how much I eat, since I actually have to pay for it, and it is heavily limited. I never had to do that before.
It's quite brilliant, though.
Anywho. I often do more writing over at my blog, on my website, http://dects.org/blog.html
If you wish to stop by there and read what I've been up to, feel free. I also accept comments as emails, which I then add on manually. It's a very basic way to do so, but, easiest, should I have to reinstall my webserver. Again.
Anywho, that's all for now. I hope everyone is well.
