A lot has happened in the past year (not all of it good) but all in all it could have been worse.
I moved from my three bedroom apartment with two roommates early because the situation became unbearable. I got a single bedroom apartment with no internet and hardly any money. I roughed it for 6 months. And I mean roughed it. I read a lot and I wrote a lot and even though I was pretty poor, I loved it.
I got Henry (my ginger cat) a little buddy and they are the very best of friends and brothers. They would be lost without each other. Henry's little brother is called Eliot and he is gray.
I went to LeakyCon at the end of last July and went to Harry Potter World which was amazing and probably made my life. It was everything I wanted it to be and I went with the best people! I also went on an insane (for me) roller coaster and screamed so much I was without a voice before the convention had even started. I also made more amazing friends at Leaky.
At the end of October, I got a roommate and moved into a rental house. It was great and it wasn't. The house was more trouble than it was worth in the end and they had plans to sell it once spring rolled around. The landlords put it on the market in March which, in my humble opinion, was a bit early since the lease wasn't up until the end of May. There was a big fiasco with the lawn and mowing it with a mower they provided which didn't work and they wouldn't replace. Eventually my roommate and I got it all sorted out.
Speaking of roommates, she moved in with her boyfriend, so here I am once more in my own apartment complete with books, cats, coffee, and Netflix. The bright side is that I can afford groceries, rent, internet, and using lights instead of candles to illuminate my place this time. I am so much better off financially this time and that is a real blessing. Hopefully I am going to settle in and stay a while this time because to be honest, all my friends and family and I are tired of me moving. It is stressful and difficult and takes up way too much time. Moving four times in two years sucks. End of.
But now, I am going to recharge all my creativity, which over the past six months has completely shut down. I think all the stress from the house and my job combined got the better of me and it got really bad. But with the house out of the way (the keys got turned in today!) and with my job looking a little better for the summer, I think the only way to go is up.
Work was really bad from May until February due to the Store Manager being worse than Umbridge. I'm not even joking. I'm not sure how I survived. But that Manager is gone now and things have taken a turn for the better. The entire store's mood has improved and even though we are getting another new manager in August, I think we'll be alright. (*Fingers crossed.)
So, to recap:
I moved.
I moved again.
I got another cat.
I moved again again.
Work sucked.
Now it's better.
I think those are the important points from these past few months.
Also, I turned 26 and I went to the zoo with my best friend.
Up's and down's and hopefully now up's for a while.
Cheers! :D
