Thanks, everyone. I really feel like this is a huge step.

did anyone else hear the NPR story about the monarch of Japan?
I heard that too. It's fascinating, both because Japan is such a modern country iin some ways but has (overgeneralization alert!) such a traditional view of women, and because of the idea that she has to start now to prepare for the possibility she may be Empress in 40 years.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Thank you, Betsy, that is who I was thinking of.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Yay, vw!
I discovered today that all my hospital bills from Annabel's birth are paid. (I called to ask how much I owed, because the billing process is way confusing, and there's an inherent time lag in that they tend to send the bills around the 15th, but the way our other bills are structured means I can pay toward them out of DH's paycheck on the 10th, but not the one on the 25th, since that's basically our rent money.)
As a result, the money I'd planned to put toward the bill went on one of out debt-bearing credit cards. Which means, for the first time since the hospital bills started arriving, I was able to pay more than the minimum balance on a credit card. This makes me incredibly happy. And in another month, my student loan will be paid off, freeing even MORE money for the paying down of bills. Woohoo!

Yay, vw!
I, like Deena, have lots of work to do and I'm not doing any of it. The problem is that I have two huge projects to tackle and my brain keeps going, "I'll start there. No, there. No, I'll check this website first. No, I'll eat first." This has been going on for several days.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Yay, vw and Susan. Two excellent pieces of news!

That sounds wonderful, Susan! Yay!
I really must go now. I am having trouble tearing myself away from the computer. Take care, everyone, and send some ~ma that my phone line goes in without a problem tommorrow.
