Starting to get back on track! Besides the first week of February, I was down around 1 lb/week! I’m trying my level best to keep this trend going.

When You Work for a Unicorn
Back in August I asked for a raise as I took on more responsibilities and projects, and slowly learned that several of my co workers that have been here around the same amount of time, but do considerably less work, were getting paid more than me.

December/ Year End 2022
December was definitely a range of emotions and surprises. This is the first Holiday season without my Grandfather and Aunt as they both passed in early 2022, so I tried to eat my grief, and I’ll let you in on a secret, cookies don’t make you less sad. That was also coupled with a thrownContinue reading “December/ Year End 2022”
November 2022 Review

June 2022 Review
I know we aren’t technically in a recession right now, but it is starting to feel like it. My retirement portfolio went from $31,000 to $29,000 this month. I also had to pay minimums on all debt this month because I had to drop a little over $2,000 between repairs on my car (new tires,Continue reading “June 2022 Review”
