Free from head coverings!!!

So my hair has grown in enough that I feel comfortable going out with out anything covering my head. It's kinda nice not having to worry about what I am gonna wear on my head. I had been going head covering free on the weekends but wearing hats and scarves at work. Today was the first day with out a covering at work and I got lots of compliments.

I've been hoping to be able to buy a place once I was ready to move out of my mom's place so I met with a realtor to see if there is anything even available in the price I can afford. It turns out there are condos I can afford mostly in the South Bay which I am totally fine with since most of my friends live in the South Bay anyways. The only problem now is I don't have nearly enough for a down payment as the lenders and realtor would like to get the best deal on a loan. Also, I was presented with possible place to live with a friend Cupertino whose roommate is moving out. The rent is really good (and really hard to pass up) and I would be able to have my Dombey back living with me sooner. I really miss my cat and I want to get a new home where we can live together ASAP. I need to let Elizabeth know by June 1st but I would like to give her my answer sooner so that I don't miss out on the chance. I am kinda leaning towards moving to Cupertino and renting for another year while I finish paying off my debt (which I should be able to pay completely off by the end of 2015 because I have been able to dump more money into it while living with my mom) and saving more money for a down payment. I am trying to make smarter financial decisions so that I don't end up going back to living paycheck to paycheck like I was previously. I'm also chomping at the bit to not be sharing a room with my mom anymore and to have my cat back. I've got some more thinking to do about it... but it's late and I need to get to sleep.
