Ok folks, So I got back to Michigan two long weeks ago. Somehow in my head I thought I would immediately be able to map out what I was doing and what I wanted to do and how to make that happen. The thing is, I often take awhile to transition to new places. Home is full of familiar routines that I haven't engaged in recently, old projects that need finishing, obligations, distractions. I could write a list... jk, I just did. So I'm two weeks in and realizing that I've been stressed, that my environment has been chaotic and I haven't given myself anytime to adjust. Today I went to the beach and took some time. Next weekend I'm traveling so I'm going to keep being patient with myself. The one thing I was impatient about was money. I did some numbers in my head and to get to 5000 by the end of the year I think I have to keep my weekly expenses under 100 dollars every week. That doesn't count rent, utilities, phone, or insurance, but it does need to cove...
