Update- Christmas Version

I know that one of the points of this blog originally was just to keep up to date/ in touch, so having just mouthed off on Sewell's post, I thought I would come back with something a little more grounded.

My house is down to two occupants at this point in time. Tim moved back to New Jersey to fight the good fight re: Cron's Disease a few months ago, and Alex moved out last week and is living in a hotel for a week looking for places to stay. He's very much a bootstraps kind of guy in that regard.

While trying to pay off my debts and live off of an absurdly low amount of money (I'm into my roomate/landlord for significant cash, at least for me) I've been playing the new edition of Dungeons & Dragons with some friends around here. It has been crazy fun! Everyone except for myself and Kris (who just became fully vested as an Episcopal priest last weekend) have never ever played a tabletop roleplaying game before, and the amount of emotional buy-in has been pretty astonishing. Nothing scary from a wellness/spirituality standpoint, just a surprising amount of enthusiasm. It is pretty sweet to be a part of something people actively want to do, rather than feel that they should do. Refreshing!

I'm looking forward to being 'off' from work this week, the quotes around off coming from the fact that I'm temping and I'm just sort of assuming that after my current job I won't get any calls until next week. That's not necessarily true though. I'm considering looking up a method I heard about to eat for less than a dollar a day to quicker erase my debt to the Bank of Shane, but I've heard that it is stunningly un-nutritious and makes the people who go on it somewhat ill. I will keep you updated!
