Happy days are here again.
| I'm feeling better today, thanks mainly to an astute LiveJournaler who pointed out over there that maybe I should cut my pills in half and try taking smaller doses. I like to think I might have thought of that myself if I hadn't been drugged to the gills already, but I'm grateful somebody took me by the virtual hand and pointed out the obvious. So I tried that, and lo, I'm feeling much more myself today. Thank God. The other reason for my chipper mood is that the university finally forked over a check for Husband's financial aid, less tuition and fees, and it's even bigger than we anticipated. So now I can stop fretting about the dwindling of our savings account and pay back our emergency fund in full. AND we can buy a new home computer. And we might even be able to set aside enough for us both to do some clothes shopping which, aside from getting to pick out a suit jacket and a couple of tops for my birthday last spring (thanks, Mom!), neither of us has done in over a year (and that little shopping spree was forced on us by virtue of forgetting to take half of our luggage with us on our honeymoon). Our respective wardrobes are beginning to look a little tattered and worse for wear. In the meantime, I'm dumping the entire amount into our savings so it can be earning interest while we decide how best to budget it. But first, I have to go stick it in my local checking account, which I get to go do right now. Whee! Labels: healthy living, money management, saving+investing, spending |
You know, I read a surprising number of blogs where the writer is on meds of some kind...Internet related illnesses, maybe? And why are we all drawn to one another like bugs to a porch light? (sorry, moths to a flame was much too poetic.)
Food for thought, fodder to ponder, and etc...
