The results are brush-taking!

 

Now that I got the mini-getaways out of the way, I

can focus more on what's going on in the homestead.

Wassup 2024!

 Yes, yes, yes, new year, same insufferable me.

Enjoy these greetings from a rather old card I found in a shop in Iowa City.

Smashing through September

 September was a sleeper.

Started off quiet, ended with a bang.

After getting my home into shape by giving away 1/3 of my stuff, I feel ready to focus more on getting my financials into shape. I'm already in fairly good standing with my money, but I do have debt, some of which I really want to get rid of sooner rather than later.

My student loan is on track to be paid down within 5 years, which is still too long for my liking, frankly, but I am paid ahead about a year and a half and I have been paying on it until it hurts. The car is also paid ahead, but not as much, and I feel like I should put more effort into erasing that debt first.
