79F and sunny this afternoon.
After a distressing winter, a terrifying spring, and a very sad summer, September is finally here, and in two weeks, we'll be at the autumnal equinox.
The forecast is for high 70sF, to low 80sF from here to the 15th, so it seems as if summer's blast furnace is cooling down.
I managed to pay all the bills today, on the 1st... something I haven't done since the move.
Rent, renter's insurance, car, car insurance, AT&T, and all the credit cards... with cash!
I also venmoed Colleen 30.00 for my share of the storage unit for September... and threw fifty more bucks into my laundry app.
The parking garage was already paid up to the end of the year, and now I have $90.00 credit on the laundry app, which should last me into February!
This is also the first month in a VERY long time, where I haven't had a sword of doom hanging over my head!
August was almost that, with the house selling on the 1st. But I was still a lot more in shock as August began, and had a lot to process.
Not that I'm done processing all of the trauma and heartbreak, by any means, but I did make some progress through August.
I've let go of the idea of buying the house back, and am ready to embrace this new life I'm in.
I still wish I could get back the life I'd already established, with a house, yard, and pets, and all the purpose and comanionship that came with it.
But I can't, and I'm not setting any goals to recreate a life like that, at the moment.
I'm ready to just settle in, and see where this goes over the next year or two.
The new mattress will be here by October, just when the air conditioner is removed, and I have a nice wide open window for the rest of fall, winter, and spring.
I think those two things are gonna make life in this studio a lot nicer.
