You know that old saying "If life gives you lemons then make lemonade"? Well I say, If life gives you lemons blow them to bits because who wants to be a sour puss anyway.

Things haven't been easy for me lately and sometimes I just want to sit down and cry but with tears comes snot so why bother.  I no longer have my apartment in Tomahawk and while I am looking for another place I had to swallow my pride and ask the Community Center in Merrill to help me.

There first option was the shelter in either Wausau or Rhinelander but since I have trust issues anyway I asked for shelter over the weekend and hopefully I will hear back from my prospective landlord sometime Monday morning.

I am a very private person but through this situation I have learned to share what I am going through and my heart is overflowing with the offer from a very dear friend. He actually brought tears to my eyes with his offer for help and for that I truly thank you.

Now as an IT student I use the computer alot but do you think I can find a place in the Merrill area who will do a front end alignment on my Ford Explorer?  The one place that was in the Yellow Pages is booked until the end of the year so I am now looking in the Wausau area. 

I miss living in Tomahawk and I especially miss my roommate because I use to bounce ideas and my frustrations off of him.  It is true that you never know what you have until it is gone and so that is Life in the Northwoods.
