Guys.  

I'm unemployed.  Not in a bad way, but not in a good way either.  Just as my income has waned to nil, so has my motivation to live.  Not in a call-for-help kind of way, just in a couch-bound, peanut-butter-by-the-spoonful kind of way.  I'll be back when I wake up.

Big month, guys.  Not great.  I was up for a promotion at work, so I made some frantic clothing purchases in an effort to look a bit more professional/stylish.  Since I do all my clothes shopping online, the bulk of it didn't work for me, so I've got hundreds (eesh) of dollars in returns to make.  And the best part: I didn't get the promotion.

Youch.  I used a chunk of my Education fund to pay for enrollment in a new, rather expensive course.  I've also done some online shopping in an effort to look more... current?  Less mid-lifey?  My 5-years-younger friends at work said I could "literally be on What Not to Wear."  That clearly hit me right in the feels.

Another hard month.  More dental work, and it's far from over.  My credit card bills have been high, mostly from said dental work, but I still have to cut down on the day-to-day junk.
