A stark difference
A month ago I had a negative amount in my bank account. Today I have a four digit sum I haven't seen since I had I had a tech job in 2012. I'm glad I already have a plan for which needed items to get because the old me would gone on a shopping spree instead of carefully making a windfall last as long as possible. I'm looking forward to not sleeping on an uncomfortable futon and having glasses that don't fall off my face or give me a headache. The anxiety of worrying about rent and bills has lifted suddenly. Is this how people live? It's like an entirely different existence.
I'm going to turn this break into something sustainable. I'm going to implement the ergonomic workspace I've designed but thought I'd never afford. All of the goals that I've been locked out from pursuing because of the health and money catch-22 are possible again. I can finally do more than read books and make text files on an ancient laptop.
