Today it's exactly one year since I moved into my apartment. A happy anniversary to myself.  

Where did all those days, weeks and months go to? Anyway, some days are still hard, but all in all, things are going rather well and I really like living here. My finances aren't all that great lately, but I must and can say that I'm proud of myself for doing it all on my own without having to ask for help. Hopefully it will stay that way because I would be devastated if I would lose all of this because of that.  Everything becomes more and more expensive, but the wages stay about the same. That's just not very fair, huh?  I try to live economical, but there are those expenditures that you can't do without. I have managed so far, I just hope I will keep on being able to do it.   I'm thinking positive thoughts, though, but it does crosses my mind once in a while.
