Not Impressed with our Debt Week 62 of 80 – Monthly Update September 2019

I was waiting until I heard about my hospital bill to update you on our debt, but so far I have heard nothing. I took the advice of my friend Kathy and applied for a grant through the hospital.

20 for ’20 – Visits

Fulfillment. Do you feel fulfilled? I don’t. Not one bit. Every day I log onto Facebook hoping I guess to find fulfillment somewhere in and amongst my newsfeed readings and every single time I get nothing. Seriously.

Screenshot

I personally think one of the greatest technological inventions of the twenty first century is the screenshot. I’m being a little dramatic of course but screenshots are so unbelievably handy. Aren’t they? I screenshot stuff everyday. Funny text messages, listings on Ebay, photos on Instagram, pictures of a certain china pattern for my business, andContinue reading “Screenshot”
