Upate, cause you require one

I recently updated the blogger app for my cellular phone, so thought I should probably use it. I hate blogging from my mobile, but it's a necessity since I don't have internet at my new place, and unfortunately am unable to borrow a wireless connection from my highly secure neighbors. Selfish neighbors.

Know what? There are at least two dogs in my building, and I've not heard one bark.

So it's not officially Fall, but it's September and it feels like Fall. Change of seasons, change of lifestyle. I've moved into my own place! I like living alone! Doing my own thing is great. I'm nearly completely unpacked, too. I might have been completely unpacked, but I've been busy entertaining friends. Making new friends is awesome. I'm totally enjoying myself.

I looove my neighborhood. My apartment isn't special or amazing or anything, but I'm sure I'll get used to living here. I'm sleeping pretty great. I will tell you that I just got robbed. Washed towels tonight - two loads. Neither were close to dry after 45 minutes. At $1 a load, that's expensive. They likely only required 50 more cents of drying, each, too. Please send me your spare quarters?

It's a pretty hippie area. My apartment backs up to a bike tail. There's a cool little coffee shop. An antique shop/junk shop. Lotsa nature. Walked the bike trail with my kids today. Totally want a bike now. I like it here. :) Just not so keen on the overabundance of carpeting in my apartment. Can't wait to paint.

Had mediation with my attorney, the ex and his new attorney last week. I'm glad he replaced his POS old attorney, but now he's being a major dickhead, so my claws are once and for all extended and from here on out I'm looking out for only myself and the kids. Full bitch mode, it is. I've made enough concessions, compromised as much as I'm willing to. Time to look out for #1.

Which means, of course, putting myself first. I realize I've got this naive quality about me, and I need to work hard to change that. Tonight, a friend helped me understand that I need to make it a priority to depend on no one other than myself. I totally need to to look to and within myself for strength, security, love, confidence, and the like. Not that I'm unwilling to happily accept that stuff externally - any outside prop-upedness is just bonus.

There you have it, my admirers.
