Wow! It's been a long time, but I have been very busy.

Just put my dissertation in the mail to my committee. Very exciting and anxiety-producing. Most of my time this past month has been spent to get that ready.

Money-wise, I've had some ups and downs. Another semester worth of tuition, but a gift from my dad will cover that...and my cc debt. (WOW!) By February, the only debt I will have will be student loans.

Did get some free money for signing up for a trial period for insurance with two of my credit cards. Naturally, I cancelled as soon as the checks cleared.

Also got a refund from my Flex Spending Account. Feels like free money because I have already paid those bills. Now that I know how this works, I will definitely sign up to have more withdrawn from my check next year.

Best wishes to all!
