. . .or so they say. I am going to go with the former as I keep hoping beyond hope that we are doing the best of our ability to keep finances in check. So far so good! We are NOT in the red and I have yet to begin my writing conquest which means that we are doing well. I was a little nervous when buying my supplements as I can go a little overboard with buying them but choosing to get back online with my accounts seem to fare much better than when I was without. Memorial Day I purchased a grill and some utensils which came out pretty sweet because I didn't buy any meat except for a little skirt steak. I actually just cooked the meat that was in our freezer and we ate like royalty! Lamb, chicken, beef- the only thing I missed was the fish which I really wanted. Some Mexican rice which we keep here in the house but that is about it. I even made chicken shish ka bobs which really went well. Cooking has become a lot but when I do order food. . .it is ridiculous! That pregnant/nursing...

Wednesday was my first day at the new office. I felt different there. I felt like a real Chiropractic Physician. I had to capitalize it because I can not get over how different this place is from the prior place I worked at. It gave me the opportunity to learn just a little bit and to carry that over to this place but there are times where I feel like I really need to catch up with my own life.

I was also eating a sandwich with one hand missing my mouth terribly and hands free pumping all at the same time. Who is this person?

I was driving my car named Essie who we traded in for this newer model car. I think mentally I may still be a few years behind myself. I hope not because I have some work to l...

My first day free and I am taking a selfie! Where do I begin. . . uh throughout my life one thing has been consistent and that is my desire to write. College was fun just because I was an English degree and I had to read books and write about them. . .SCORE!!!! I loved reading about the "new money" and "old money" of the book, "The Great Gatsby" or how hated a little black baby was in the 1950's in the book, "The Bluest Eye". I don't complain about paying off my undergrad school loans because they were worth it in the second half of school. I graduated from college and obtained writer's block. UGH!!!! The block was really that my father was sick and eventually passed away on a cold icy morning in very early January. So, I move to Chicago to obtain my creative mojo and what do I do? I do something I wanted to do but promised myself it was too expensive to do and that was go back to school and become a doctor. While I am happy tha...
