I made $12,000 this month. I mean, it is one of the peak months so Obviously that doesn't reflect an average monthly income, and most will be stashed for property & income taxes while th rest goes to debt and savings for the slower season, but it's surreal to look at my bank account balance right now ( Read more... ) -

I will really enjoy food. Without guilt or apology. I will not eat crappy food that I don't enjoy just to be social, or because it's available.

I've gotten to the point where baby flipping and turning has started to hurt sometimes. She's almost out of room and a very strong wiggler. Even when it's not painful the sensations are very... odd, compared to just a few weeks ago. Less like a graceful dance and more like a desperate fish on dry land.
Even so, I'm not ready for this to be over. The ( Read more... )
