I GOT AN APARTMENT!

I got a super sweet apartment in Columbia City and I can't wait to move in on the 1st. I will be living alone (with Nigel and Roxy of course) in a two bedroom place with a huge fenced yard all to ourselves. I couldn't have asked for a better place to live. I am drawn to the South End of town and this place is perfect. It's not quite walking distance to the cutest part of Columbia City but it sure is biking distance :) I am also walking distance to a fabulous Dim Sum restaurant which I'm sure I will be visiting quite often. I might even check out the Buddhist Temple down the street. I am so excited to get into my own place and settle in. I haven't spent much of my life living alone so it will be a change but it is a change I look forward to. I will be able to set up my office and get organized so hopefully next year my business is a little better organized. Now all I need is a couch. Stephanie has given me a coffee table, TV, two DVD players, entertainment center, side table and sofa table which is SO generous of her and is saving me tons of money. I haven't seen them and have no idea what they look like but FREE is my favorite price so I really don't care what they look like. One trip to Target for some bean bags and I should be good to go until I can get a nice sofa and maybe a Starla (guest) bed for the office.

Things are looking up for me and hopefully I can afford life all on my own. I have two little AA buddies who I have been going to meetings with and that has been helping with my mental health SO much. These two guys are new in sobriety and are gung ho about going to meetings so I am tagging along enjoying the ride. My spiritual health is better than it has been in years and I have to say I am very happy right now being alone and focusing on my own personal goals. Dating sober is a whole new ballgame so I am kind of putting that on the back burner for the time being. I need to finish my Steps and finally get a sponsee or two.
