So it occurred to me yesterday what I don't like about getting paid monthly. When you get paid monthly, it is trivial to do your budgets and see what the current state of your cash flow is, and it's generally convenient.
However, when you get paid weekly or biweekly, you get this regular reminder of why you get up in the morning. On the monthly schedule, it's more like "Holy cow! I won the Lotto!" followed shortly by "Why am I so poor?" after you pay your bills. Shortly thereafter it is, "Why do I do this, again?"
Ah well. Going to miss
zohra for the next two weeks, but it will be two weeks closer to us being together again all the time. I'd like to thank all of our friends, yet again, for making this as painless as possible. I love you guys, and it's really not just the fatigue talking. This whole process could have been significantly more unpleasant than it is, and I have all of you to thank for it.
