Wrote four thousand words this month. Not up to my usual standard (my words for the year as of end of May was 62K) and not up to my monthly goal (NaNo), but my words for the year as of beginning of October was still 62K and now my words for the year are 72K and my November words are four thousand fucking awesome words.

Put nearly four hundred books in boxes and set aside another one hundred plus (actual total probably nearer two hundred) to sell or otherwise be rid of.

This weekend I am going to the Philly LGBT square dance club's glitter ball. This marks the second time ever of my actual physical presence being at an event where the attendees are predominantly My People, the first time being the Pride fest earlier this year.

The math says I can get out of debt entirely and have enough saved up to move into my own apartment by the beginning of October 2015 and I am fucking well going to do it. My progress towards that goal is going to be minimal for a while, between Giftmas and that last course for my associate's, but I'm almost done Giftmas shopping and the last tuition payment is March and the last car payment is May and that will free up a whole bunch of paycheck.
