Wherein, for a short period of time I am loaded

So I both got my paycheck and my security deposit back from my last abode yesterday and I am temporarily rolling in dough. It's a heady feeling that I intend to enjoy for the entire month that I will have it. Then I go back to regular rent prices and utility bills kick in and I'll watch it all slowly drain away until, sometime later this year I suspect, I'll be back to scrimping and harsh budgeting much the same as when I first moved out here almost 7 years ago.

Life really is pretty cyclical when it comes right down to it.

Ah well, for now I'm feeling almost financially secure and I have an Odwalla smoothie so life is good.
