Something really magical happened the other day. I had no idea that it was going to feel so incredible, in fact, it was altogether unexpected. I paid off the bills from yet another ridiculously frugal Christmas (we gave each other shirts, I mean really!) and then I sent everything else off to the cards, and the new total is: less than our income in a month. That is just a magic number, because somehow our new total debt is a Small Number. I had no idea. Yippee! We still have our TV from a dumpster. It makes a loud sound now after it has been on for a few minutes, a sort of a hum. It is my cross to bear.

but I fell in love with science again, later.

So, basically, a digit has been dropped from the total amount of debt. This is very exciting, but it has been sooo long and it is soooo hard.
We cannot invite anyone to sit down when they stop by, because there is no place to sit. And, I am so sick and tired of nt having a place to sit. What furniture we have is froma dumpster, or whatever, and it is just so disheartening.
My car or his will die soon, if we are really unlucky, both. So, although the pace has been bruising and worth it, I just do not know how long we can keep it up. But, we are now to the point where our credit rating has really started to take off. And, I think the light is at the end of the tunnel- 2 more years? Maybe less? We’ll see.
