Okay, now it’s six months later and I have a nice place to live, a job with some great guys that I work for and they’re even teaching me to do electrical work. All in all, I’m not doing too darn bad for a 20 year old. I’m slowly getting my apartment fixed up the way I want it. Every time I do something to improve it, like lay ceramic tile in the bathroom and kitchen, they give me something off of my rent even though they know the materials come from the dumpsters on the job.
They are great people. Mrs. Thomas is always asking if I want something they had left over at dinner. I think she cooks extra just so she can give me some. She’s a great cook too. They let me wash my clothes in their laundry room which is a room off from the garage I live over. They keep trying to get me ‘fixed up’ with a young lady but I have more important things to do with my time and money right now. I have to take care of myself first and then maybe I’ll start looking around to see what’s available. At any rate, I like my life right now and don’t need any complications.
