this time last year, i up and quit my job of 7 years... without much of a safety net. i just needed to do it.

i needed to recenter my life as a (good) parent, work on my mental health, and tan.

well, all sorts of shit hit the fan, split up with LJ, jumped right back into another, went to BM, and finally decided to get a job in november when my savings nearly depleted. luckily i landed on terra firma into a great job with excellent stability and future (salary and benefits too) and well... into yet another thing or two... i was pretty freaked out for a time about finances - but i got a fair chunk of severance and UEI - and i spent more $ on fixing my house than i had income the entire year!

the biggest "whew" moment came yesterday. i did my taxes. and i only owe a net of $150.

*sigh* i'm good. but my tan is gone!
