Not Impressed with Our Debt January 2020 Update
Originally I had a good solid “plan” when I started this journey of paying off our debt. Unfortunately that plan is in need of a change. The momentum that I started with has changed because I am not working 55+ hours a week anymore. I have decided to adjust and take a different approach toContinue reading “Not Impressed with Our Debt January 2020 Update”
SAL -Project Fraktur Hex #2
I spent so much time the last three weeks working on Fraktur Hex and I was so excited to show my progress but I realized late last night that I had made a mistake that had devastating consequences.

It’s a veryContinue reading “SAL – Project Fraktur Hex #1”
Decorated Halloween Layer Cake
My sister and her husband had their annual, epic, Halloween party this past weekend and for the dessert contest I brought a Halloween themed cake.

20 for ’20 – Visits Update
When I originally set “Visits” as a goal for my 20 for ’20 Challenge, face to face visits were what I had in mind. I have changed my perspective on this a bit because if I want to visit with someone, such as a busy mom with four children for example, a face to faceContinue reading “20 for ’20 – Visits Update”
Not Impressed With Our Debt – Week 64 of 80 – Hospital Bill
I finally had to call the grant department about my emergency room bill to find out the status of my application. Like I thought, we earn too much and we were rejected. I spoke in depth with the woman and she suggested going on the payment plan. I told her what had happened the lastContinue reading “Not Impressed With Our Debt – Week 64 of 80 – Hospital Bill”
