The Best Thing I'll Ever Buy?

Living on my own is starting to look up, largely thanks to the recent purchase of this tool kit. I have already used it to assemble and fix many things around my cozy little place. Tools aside, however, things are crazy and I almost wish the hurricane would come so I could just get a day off. I have already had more run-ins with the Texas police than I care to admit, have butted heads with a few teachers that I shouldn't have, and gone through more cans of Raid than a girl should have to deal with.

It is weird being an "adult." I had always considered myself to be fairly independent before, but now there is no one else to look to when I need to make a decision, and no one else to fix things when I screw up. This is scary and exhilarating, but it is helping me grow and I guess it is what gives me enough power to buy my own set of tools.

I miss the comfort of my old life. The past couple of years were probably the best I've had. I tried to appreciate them while I had them, but now the hindsight is really making me grateful. I miss the people and the lifestyle that I had back home, it is hard to make this dramatic shift and start again from nothing. There are plenty of things and people to fill up my time, but nothing yet that really makes me happy. I hope that will come in time.

All in all, Texas is weird and I can't really say that I like it, but I think it will do me some good.

At the very least, the tools are cool.
