Practice

Yes, I am still living at home. But I am not a "momma's boy." I am anything but that. Since I was about 13 or 14, I've been doing my own laundry, my own cleaning, my own mopping, my own sweeping, etc. I've also done my little bit of cooking here and there. Mom has never "babied" me. Not even when I am sick. And I think I am a better man for it.

The parents have been on vacation this week leaving me home alone with my younger sister. I am loving being alone. I've gotten the chance to use my cooking skills. On Sunday, I roasted some chicken seasoned with a little Badia Complete Seasoning and some mojo. Delicious! Monday night, a "cuban" steak. Yummy. Tonight was my best yet. Sweet and Sour Pork Chops with some dirty rice. Purrrrr. (I just realized I hadn't purred in a few weeks). I honestly cannot wait until I have my own place.

I decided a couple weeks back that I have had enough of the folks. And took on a second job to make extra money so I can afford rent. Now it's just a matter of finding a place I can afford in a place I want to live. I am not being too picky. First, I can afford about $750 a month. Second, I would like to be near the LA Fitness in Doral. Third, a washer and dryer in the unit. And fourth and probably the most important a place to put my Weber Genesis Grill. I could leave it here but my parents have never ever used it. It would go to waste. The Fountain Blue, Westchester, Sweetwater, Dolphin Mall, Doral areas are all game. I hope I can find a place soon for my own sanity.
