Doing Okay

Doing Okay

Sitting here at my desk in my room that I’ve spent an amount of time this weekend cleaning, I’m realizing…I’m doing okay. I’ve got a clean desk, pretty pens, a great idea I’m excited to write…all fourteen (so far) seasons of Supernatural on Netflix… I know I said Supernatural wasn’t my thing. I think I’ve […]

Doing the Math

So a while back I downloaded YNAB, which stands for You Need a Budget. Because I did–I really really needed a budget. I looked around at recommended free apps, and tried Wallet, and it just didn’t work for me. Somehow I never quite managed to figure out what I was supposed to be doing with
