As shitholes go....

I realize that I haven't posted in a while so I'm sorry for that. Things are starting to look up again. I have secured employment at a major coffee chain. (hooray!)I won't say which one but here's a hint: they are on every fucking corner. And I have a place to live...sort of. It's a rather swanky affair called the Abbott Hotel, it ain't nice but it's cheap. The people have been friendly but a bit on the noisy side. The fellow across the hall from me is prone to hawking up phlegm at strange hours of the morning and the people I share a bathroom with are a bit loud, especially if wrestling is on TV. In my mind it is a "all bills paid studio apartment in a great neighborhood". That's what I keep telling myself anyhow. I get free incoming calls and a TV came with the place. This is what one review of the place read: "The beds felt as if they were recovered from a 1920's brothel.....if you don't mind the smell of stale locker rooms, than the trip to your room through the halls should bring back some fond memories of your high school gym days..."
I have purchased a small fan and a couple of air fresheners to combat the stuffiness and strange odor But I have to admit that I do like the neighborhood I am in. I have found a pretty decent dive bar that gives you a free drink for every third one you buy, (sometimes every second one if the bar tender is losing track). Oh and I have an interview for an ice cream shop tomorrow which I am sure to get. Fingers crossed......

I'm glad you're doing better. Things are well on this end. I've been really busy. My place will soon be teeming with people-or at least it will certainly seem that way. 4 people total(myself included) 3 of which will be guys so i'm gonna be rather outnumbered. Hopefully I'll be a well-protected queen of this roost. We shall see. Wish me luck!

I love you! Don't forget about your bestfriend here in the Lone Star State, ok? Take Care.
