a few things have been settled
after months of playing that filthy game I finally won "settlers of catan," and I just got a job where, according to my boss, "You don't have to wear shoes and you can drink on the job." I'll take this as a sign that everything I hope for is within reach! There is an affordable home, then, glittering on my july horizon, and a car and the liscence to drive it, too.
