River City Rumble

Whew, been a whirlwind of events since I last checked in. Ok where to start? Hampden. I took over the last two months of a lease in a room in Hampden. It’s a small room, but only a block off the avenue. I know a one person in the house, and a lot of people in the neighborhood. I’m very happy to be moving out, if only for a short time.

I also finished my paralegal certificate. Glad that is over with.

Last week I went to St. Louis, for my sister’s college graduation. I flew out instead of driving, so I got there before the family did. Did a lot of family and graduation stuff (meh), but was able to get away and do my own thing, which was nice. I got blind stinking drunk for the first time in ages. I forgot to space with water, so I wound up with a hell of a hang over. I also toured a few breweries. Later in the week I went to a “riverboat” casino, and won $30 at the roulette tables (nice,) and Friday I got to see Glen Phillips of Toad the Wet Sprocket fame. Fun times, overall.

And when I got home, my federal tax refund, a rebate check, and a fat paycheck where all there waiting for me.

This week will be busy, job hunting, working, and cleaning up the room. Also got to bottle the batch of beer I have fermenting. Also, after two weeks of eating crap (substiuting sugars and starch for sleep can only last so long) I got to get back to exercising and eating right.

travel, st.louis, family
