Wow Literary Lark, you've really accomplished a lot in the past year.

So have I. A year ago I was in an apartment that I was struggling to afford and trying to find a room mate that would let me stay. I didn't succeed and had to sell off 95% of my stuff and move. I've moved twice, most recently 3 months ago when I was lucky enough to get into subsidized housing, which means I can afford my rent, and still have a little money left for extras. I started working part time, for the first time since 2014, and I love my job, and it's given me the experience I need to apply for a better paid role within the same organization. I've lost 30 lbs and am still on track to lose more. I sometimes feel like I'm still catching my breath, from all the change, but it's good.
