So me moving out and getting my own place is just around the corner. Want I really wanted was an apartment, but I can’t seem to find in my meager little price range. Everybody that has an apartment in this town for rent is targeting people that have real salaries. But I did find a room (small studioish) that I can rent. It is on the bottom floor of family compound. People won’t be passing by room on a regular basis as their main living quarters is on the top floor. I have a great view to top it off. I should know by the end of the week if I can live here. If so the family says it will only take them a week to the room ready for me to move into! If all goes well I should be living on my own by the first weekend in April! Unlike living with a host family I will be able to come and go a bit more freely than I can now. I’ll be able to cook my own meals the way I want to. Not to mention I’ll be able to eat as little or as much as I want to with feeling like I’m being force fed by the bebia. Oh, freedom is just around the corner!

So on a side bar…yesterday I saw a guy being escorted from the police station in handcuffs. For some reason this shocked me. This really surprised me as I used to deal with people in handcuffs all the time when I worked at the City as a court clerk. It was the first time in about 9 ½ months that I saw somebody in handcuffs, maybe that’s why.

PS
I still don't know which place I get to move to yet. So no update on that!
