There’s a lot going on in my life as of late. Let me share a few items with you:
First off, I moved at the end of June, which was, as you might imagine, a rather exhausting affair. Nevertheless, I am getting settled nicely. I moved in with a friend from my church in order to slash the costs I had been paying to keep my own apartment whilst unemployed. I finally realized I didn’t need the space and shouldn’t be wasting the money.
(We Americans have a love affair with large spaces for private uses, do we not? —Why should I, one single person, require an entire apartment for my own self? Why, indeed.)
Second, I got a job today at Mast General Store in downtown Greenville. I’ll be working in the mercantile section (that’d be candy and housewares), which is slightly different from the shoe/ outdoor department where I interviewed, but a job’s a job. Anyway, I start in August.
I think these two events are critical in initiating the transitional phase I hope to effect over the next few months, as I prepare to go overseas. With this move across town, and the new job, I’ll be able to sock away the cash needed to get out of Dodge, hopefully late this fall or early next winter.
So, that’s the lastest from my end of things. Hope yours are going well.
