I'm hanging in there. My pet is having tooth problems. So that's been quite a stressful hit to my finances, but if I can make it a couple more months without bottoming out my bank account I think I'll be okay. Finding a couple CC people nearby, even if they're almost an hour drive away, has been helpful towards weathering the everyday feeling like i'm living I'm in a foreign land. The bright side is there's no expectation of me showing up for the trainwrecks of holiday meals, so that's a treat. Lol.
