I’m Free! Motherf*ckers!

It’s been a while, I know.  2019 was certainly a whirlwind.  Last time I posted, It was in late June, early July, and I was only a couple of weeks away from moving.  I moved out of my parents house at the beginning of August.

In the months preceding my move, I had a great deal of help from one of my doctors, who helped me find a dining room table and chairs, and a couch (with a queen fold out bed).  I used Facebook Marketplace to my advantage and got myself a toaster, microwave, microwave stand, little coffee table and book shelves.  Walmart came in handy and I got a TV and TV stand on their last sale.  I was being as thrifty as I could.

My apartment went from looking like this:Unfurnished Apartment

Before they fixed it up for me.  It then looked like this:

First Moving In

When I first started moving things in.  This was the next phase:

Partially Set Up

Still getting situated.  Finally, it came to this:

Finished Apartment

Finally, this was it looked like finished (ignore the boxes the TV is sitting on.  I do have a TV stand now).  I have cooking implements that were given to me by family friends.  I’ve been enjoying cooking my own meals, but I only really get to do it twice a week: Sunday night and Monday night.  All the other nights I work too late to cook my own dinner.  This Sunday night, I have my younger brother visiting and I said I would cook Katsudon for dinner (Japanese pork cutlet bowls).  I’m looking forward to it.

Anyway, I am very happy with myself and where I am right now.  I have my own space, I’m engaged, and looking forward to 2020.

And on that note, it’s been real!
