I’m drunk tonight, so let me keep this short and sweet. You are welcome.

I have a short term solution to my housing problem. I’ve committed to a decent one bedroom place here in Baloy Beach. Committed for a month at least. The two-bedroom upstairs becomes available at the end of the month and I have the right of first refusal on that. So we’ll see.

In the meantime, I’ve negotiated 22,000 pesos ($440.) per month, and I pay the electric. It’s a start but not what I want for the long run. Gives me time to keep looking without too much pressure at least.

I’m drunk because I played darts and drank while I played. I didn’t play particularly well, but it felt good to be back on the oche regardless.

It’s been a hot motherfucker, but I still got my steps in. Scouted some new neighborhoods with nothing of interest. Heard tell of a couple of others I’ll hike out to see tomorrow or Wednesday.

Otherwise, I’m okay. Some fucked up things in my personal life but hey, I should be used to that by now, right? Too drunk to think about it at the moment, but I’d love to figure out just what it is about me that drives people I care about away. Heh, maybe I don’t want to know. Yeah, I actually DON’T want to know. I do my best and that’s all I’ve got. If that is not enough, by all means, walk away.

Ah well, I’m here and trying to keep it all together. I’m going to be selfish (er, more selfish than usual) for awhile. I need to take care of me. No one else is going to.

I must be a bloomin’ idiot.
