thezOh my! A journal update! Most of my "journaling" since May has been at tumblr, as it's all been pretty brief as I've been lacking in either time or motivation or both. But that has changed recently!
I think it would be easiest to tackle this in New Year Goals format.
GIMME SHELTER (NEW SUBSECTION!)
Finally moving into an apartment here! Since June I've been on a waiting list for a rent-controlled apartment complex in downtown Phoenix, and a unit is opening up on November 14th. I have a couple more documents to submit, but other than that it's mine.
I am so excited, and so glad I waited instead of moving out sooner into a place I wouldn't be as happy with, because 1) RENT CONTROLLED, 2) it is actually right in downtown Phoenix. I'm less than a mile away from awesome restaurants and lounges and museums and theaters and it is awesome, 3) I'll be 10 miles away from work instead of 30, and 4) a couple of blocks away from the light rail and other public transit (though I will still have my car). Of course, this does mean that...
Finances
+ I'll have to make a new budget. Pro and con. I love crunching numbers but I hate sitting still. HOWEVER!
+ I've settled my debt! For the unaware, I had nearly $10,000 in credit card debt from my attempt at attending college followed by lots of medical bills (yes, the two are related) (but no, the U.S. has absolutely nothing wrong with its healthcare or education systems /sarcasm). I got that cut nearly in half and I'll be done making payments by September 2015. This is such a huge relief.
+ And hey! I got a new bed like I said I wanted to!
Health
+ mental: Big improvement here! I've been appropriately medicated since mid-June, and on top of that, I've been seeing a counselor for the past couple of weeks and it's going really well so far. She's very sweet and easy to talk to, and we've been pretty productive for being only two sessions in.
Whew! I had more subsections and updates, but I think that's enough for now. I'm feeling overwhelmed just reading this. MOVING. UGH. But also. YAY!
