At first it seems so jubilant...

And then you realize it is the Maelstrom of the Soul itself... Over the weekend, my last housemate moved out after a fairly long and sometimes difficult transition. We parted as friends, for which I am glad: I was not always terribly nice or patient, and expected we would not be able to manage that. All and all, I am happy to have a place of my own again after these years of budgeting and compromising in order to pay off debt. Taking over the apartment is a real benchmark of how hard I have worked to get out of the mess I made a few years back.

I have a lot of work to do on the place: I am going to be doing a very cheap sprucing up of the entire place, so I will post things as that progresses.
