Ha, ha, ha! Yes, grabby thing. A hemostat that I'm pretty sure was clean.

Joyce: Dawn, you be good. Xander: We will. Just gonna play with some matches, run with scissors, take candy from some guy, I don't know his name.

Have we talked here yet about the Director of Taco Relations job posting?
I for one feel HIGHLY qualified to talk about tacos on the internet for money.

I saw that somewhere. Travel, and come up with new taco ideas? Yes, please.

I have not heard of that before and it's frickin' terrific! Although they say
Debate the ultimate controversial taco topic: soft or hard shell taco?
And I feel like "is a taco a sandwich" might be more controversial...
Man, I *wish* I felt qualified for that job. I need to step up my taco-related activities and qualifications

What I was actually coming in here to say before I was so efficiently distracted by tacos was: I have paid my bills for the second half of July and put a little money into savings and I still have what looks like enough money for groceries, so yay me! Every month this feels like a crapshoot and I still have to keep my fingers crossed against unexpected expenses, but I feel good about it right now

Thank you!
ALso, Director of Taco Relations somehow sounds like a job for C3PO or similar: Human-Taco Relations?

Our wings are not tired.
I still have what looks like enough money for groceries
May I suggest tacos?

I have also figured out that, given what I know about my income and obligations for the first half of August, I should be spending no more than $200/month on food (and anything else that isn't bills, really) and that's a bummer. $50/week is just not a lot of groceries. I think I figure this out every month and am sad about it every time like it's brand new information. Living within my means is hard. When I just couldn't live within my means it was, in some ways, easier because if I know I'm going deeper in debt no matter what, what's going a little deeper a little faster matter, but the difference between staying afloat and sinking seems like a more important line to not cross if I can manage it. Most first world problem ever?

Oh, geez, no -- I think food budgeting is fraught and for damn good reason.
