Celebrant

I did it! I'm finally going to be a homeowner. I found this very cool little house in the neighboring town of Bisbee. It's the perfect one-person house, with a tiny porch on the front, yellow siding with dark green trim. The yard is terraced too. I just adore it. While it's pretty small, it's going to force me to re-evaluate a lot of the things I've been collecting over the years. I will have to get rid of a lot of things I thought I couldn't do without. The local "Friends of the Library" will likely get a lot of books next month. I bought a bed! I'm hoping to close the loan early, like the beginning of July instead of August. The tenants that live there now are moving. I'll need to get in there and wash the nicotine off the walls, paint and freshen before I can live there. I hate the smell of smoke. I'm a horrible reformed smoker, a bit righteous there, but I don't care. I hate it. Anyway, I'm so stoked!!! I haven't told mom yet, but I will.
I've made some other decisions about my life as well. I'm going to finish school, but my goals have changed. I'll certainly try to improve my job situation, but in the next several years I'll be saving up to buy a business or three, open my own bookstore or wine bar, and eventually one of my girlfriends and I are discussing opening a Whole Foods market. This silly town needs another grocery, but considering the one organic food market here is about the size of a walk-in closet, we really need some help.
So, yes, that's my deal. I need a new job, too. I have a difficult time being patient with challenging personalities. Just because she's the boss does NOT give her the right to treat me and the rest of the team like we're gum on her shoe.
Toxic people suck.
