Time for an update, it seems! From the personal life side of the house– I have been moved back home for the last year after an off-and-on year-long separation. Life has been good, and it’s been fun making future plans as partners again. In 2024, I established a really consistent yoga practice, started yoga teacher…

Life These Days and My Thoughts on FIRE
No major life-altering events to report, and that makes me pretty happy. All in all, I have just been pretty happy. A lot of realizations have come out of the last two years between a major career shift and an unexpected marital separation. I don’t recommend the latter if you can avoid it, but I…
2024 Beginning Financial Status
Hello, again. I have officially moved back home after 13 months. Things were a little stressy in December and January, but I finally feel settled and refocused to continue moving through life back in this direction with my husband. I am beyond grateful things worked out– we’ve put in a lot of work, and I…
A Big Update Moving Into 2024
Plot twist. I’m moving home?! I’m teetering between elation and caution because 2023 tried to do me in, and I’m a little gun-shy. But, as it turned out, my husband and I were able to sort some things out. Those things are not what I would consider completely sorted, but they’re well on their way,…

I felt more confident over the summer, but now I’m reduced to piles of tears and am masochistically looking through…
A Personal Update
Hi, still here sometimes. This may end up being a melodramatic post, so feel free to pass if that’s not your jam today. What a couple of months. I separated from my husband in December. In between smalls glimmers of hope that I may be able to be happy again, we have days like today….
Confession: I Dabbled in Retail Therapy
Don’t worry, this isn’t a trend. It’s been a rough couple of months. A lot of time has been spent preparing for the worst, worrying, and just being sad and lame. I’ve been staying with my sister in Washington, DC, which is an amazing city, but I don’t have any friends up here other than…
