I'm up just north of San Antonio. I work seasonal jobs- the lifeguard thing is a given, in the winter I just go wherever's best. I can't hold down other jobs too well; if I had money, I'd move back south near my folks and take Bella with me.
I live in a little box in the middle of some more little boxes. Kitchen sink breaks faster than the maintenance can handle, so I wash dishes in the bathtub. I light incense cause it's cheaper than candles. Bella is getting too old to share a room with me when she's here, so there's a semi permanent makeshift bedroom in the couch/tv area. The AC works though, and I'm a good cook, so we can habe a cool place and warm bellies when we need.
