Well, I bought a car on Saturday. It's almost too easy, these days: no money down, just a couple of hours and it's yours. Weird feeling.

And now, I can get around on my own without having to walk, and I even have a safe place to store stuff! Now all I need is stuff ...

I started apartment-shopping, too. There are so many choices, with such small differences. And they're all over-shadowed by the what-if of the possible layoffs, not to mention the tight budget with two households.

Too bad, I need a place to live, even if I do get laid off.
