So I declared that effective March 1st I was going to really concentrate on getting my shit together. I restarted tracking my expenses in order to effectively budget my money. I also need to recommit to being healthier too. Notice how one of these is 'I've restarted' and the other is 'I need'... Opps!
The last time I blogged I spoke of the fact that so much of my life was in limbo. Well, within 24 hours or so 2 of the areas of my life was no longer in the limbo it was at the time I blogged. The move at work is done for the most part and should be finished as of now. I've sort of settled my office...just need to get some work done and move a few cabinets, but I have to wait to get to that this coming week, because we all know I'm not moving those cabinets by myself! Ha!
In other news, I did not get approved high enough for a mortgage to get a house I would be happy with. I sort of expected this thanks to all of those student loans I'm hauling around on my credit reports. I could get a house, but not something that is going to make me happy so I've decided to wait. There was some discussion between my aunt and I about me renting a house, because this place is just too small for the munchkin and I and her moving in here still. As of yesterday that decision was tabled. Instead my auntie and I are going to rent a storage unit together so I feel less stuffed into this place and since she is going from a 4 bedroom home to a 1 or 2 bedroom apartment, she will need it too. And we are going to paint my house to make it feel fresh for me and make it easier to stay here in the coming months as I continue to work on getting my debt further under control (see the tracking of expenses & budgeting discussed earlier!), so I can buy a house in the future...one that I'll be happy with!
We are only early into March and I feel like this is going to be a really good month for me. So even though I was suppose to be blogging about getting my shit together effective March 1 on March 1 it is better late than never!!

- My favorite quote...We all live in hiding. In one way or another each of us conceal pieces of ourselves from the rest of the world. Some people hide because their lives depend on it. Others because they don't like being seen. And then there are those special cases, the ones who hide because they just want someone to care enough to look for them...Which one are you?
