This is my first post. Being new and all, I'm not quite sure what to write about. Lately the days seem to run into one another. Tomorrow's Monday I guess. I've never been a big fan on Mondays. They're the most difficult to wake up for. At least I have clean clothes to wear to work, and my apartment's clean. That's an improvement from last week.

I'm growing tired of living from paycheck to paycheck. I've been contemplating how to ask for a raise. I know that I'm underpaid and I know that I'm deserving, it's just such a touchy subject I feel. The budget's been tight, so I've put it off. The company's new website that I've almost singlehandedly put together launches next month, so I'm thinking I'll hold off till then.

I guess the worst thing my boss could say is, No. . I want so badly to have my own design shop. That sort of thing seems so far away. I've been trying to pick up some freelance clients here and there though. I have three. I suppose that's three more than last month, so I should be happy.

My apartment still looks very bare. I hung a few prints up on the wall the other day, but there's still something missing. I still have some stuff I need to hang, the walls don't make it very easy though. Apparently they're fire resistant or something, which means hammering into them is like hammering into a brick wall. I gave up in frustration the other day. Though I did get 4 posters nailed in, which was a small victory. I need someone to help me put my mirror up in my room, and nail my shelf in. I tried doing both myself, though it was rather fruitless.

I'm not very good at asking for help. Worse I get frustrated when I can't do it myself. Days it would be nice to have a boyfriend. Eh well, one day.

For now it's time for bed.
