Hello one and hello all!

Wow, It has been quite some time. guess an update is well in order so lets see….

Still on the HIV meds. Still not happy with them, but at this point its just another routine. Still in College. Although right now I'm on summer vacation. Haven't done much for vacation except stay home and do a heck of a lot of relaxing. (long overdue and much needed) School starts back up in about a month and a half. Hmmm. What else….. Oh yeah. I'm still successfully single, (been dodging the relationship bullet for a while now) as the dating scene just doesn't make sense to me these days. Quit smoking quite some time ago , umm. let's see… oh and I started saving up money.

The budget that I set for myself includes an allowance of $25/wk and $150/mo. for food and necessities. Bills come first though. After every thing is done and said any extra money gets tucked away and officially doesn't exist as far as I'm concerned. The trick to saving money I have found is simple. Be happy with what you have, with the world around you all the while ignoring the constant media blitz of advertising and "must have, must need" frame of mind that the corporations and banks are so busy trying to tell us about. Once that is mastered then saving money is easy. Case in point I was simply amazed at how easy it is to save money. I'll create a separate entry to explain this more in detail a bit later. 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

Any how, Life as a general rule is good. Only a few thing of sorrow have happened over this past year or so. My Grandmum passed away last year and one of my cats as well. sighs…. Part of the cycle of life. I do miss the grand fair lady, however, she led a wonderful life filled with adventure and I think that it is due to her that I have my love of writing manuscripts. 🙂 🙂 Not to mention knitting. 🙂 well, that's all for now. Cheers. 🙂 🙂
