Living the single life: single parent, single mom, just plain single.

    Mattress Junction and the Time Thief…

    Why is the testing center closed on Sundays? Bogus! See, this is why I end up not trusting people. I specifically asked a friend who went to the testing center on Friday to find out what hours they were open over the weekend. I got her text saying Saturday and Sunday, and I even asked for verification! I don’t think I will ask her for help again.

    Sleep? What’s that?

    Who’d have thought that I’d actually forgo sleep to get my work done? I have come a long way from the days of my youth. I know for sure that in the face of overwhelming odds I’d have rolled over and gone to sleep. So there is a lot to be said for being older and wiser. That and being a single mom I think helps me put all the whiny “OMG I can’t do it” bullshit into perspective when there is no one for me to rely on. If I don’t do it, it’s not getting done. Simple as that…

    Navigating Uncharted Waters…

    My new apartment is a brave new world. It dawned on me, as I sat in my most recent Craigslist acquisition, that I am really doing it! I am making my apartment my home.  It helps that my belongings, which until recently had been in storage in New Jersey, are inbound, thereby bringing closure to my move West. It’s official, I now have NOTHING left that ties me to that black hole (aka NJ).
