I made a deal to get us out of this place.
I haven't updated this in nearly three months. Some new things from me:
I've been working at East House for a year. I've saved up half of my salary, which isn't a lot. But good news is that I finally get my BIG raise..Which works out to be about 32 cents more an hour, before taxes. But I'm not complaining, I guess I could have quit there several times...but I really do like the job and the team of people I work with. It's great experience, and for now, it'll do.
So, with the money I saved (gosh, it's disappearing quickly), I got an apartment (studio), and I'm opening a mutual fund. I took about one third of what I saved, and I'm putting it into an evergreen fund, which averages about 9.8% interest per year (it's a very stable account, because, I wouldn't have it any other way. Let me know if this sounds interesting to you, I'll refer you to my financial planner dude). My studio is in a very nice area on Oxford. No lease, which makes it even better. I can move in after the first. I'm pretty psyched. I bought a new bed yesterday (if anyone is shopping for good discounted furnature, I found an overstock warehouse that is awesome).
I apologize for being distant, I admit I've been hiding out. You know when you're just not happy with the way things are going, and you don't want to have to tell other people about the nothingness that you're doing with your life...(Mainly, the "hi, I'm kelly, I've been living at home with my parents for a year and a half," part.) It get's hard to tell that over and over.
I hope everyone's doing well. People have some big stuff of their own that I'm unaware of, I'm sure. Notably, I'm sorry for the loss of Wrigley (Pat and Tom). I guess that's all for now. Take care all. Maybe we'll get together soon.
