Living alone

Hi Martha!
Hi Mom! I'm not sure if you want to read all my old posts. I'm post one that's more PG and not oversharing. Hehe.

So I've been living alone for one year. A lot has happened since then. I still feel lonely sometimes but overall I'm happy with my living arrangement. Living alone is tough. You really have to be independent. I fit the bill. I'm happy when I have company and I go out often and keep busy. I like being able to have all the secrets that I want. No one sees me from day to day so no one knows what I really do.

The gods have worked in my favor and given me the gift of a great job. I wasn't even actively looking. I just posted my resume on Monster several months ago and I thought it disappeared into cyberspace. Apparently not. Wells Fargo needed me badly to be their "Mortgage Specialist" and I'd be stupid not to take advantage. I never have luck like this. They were offering me amazing money. Money that will help me pay down my debts and give me the financial freedom to do what I want.

Whatever that is.

The job is high stress and high stakes. It's kind of exciting. I'm doing well so far (at least I hope) although today I was pulling my hair out over a messed up loan trying to close tomorrow. But it wasn't my fault and I don't think anyone blames me. I know this job isn't my dream, but it's my dream for right now. This job could save me.
