5 Very Sweet Words!

Some ladies wait for four words from their partner.  Some men wait for the same ones.  There are others that can be sweet as well...

For me, at this very moment in my life, the following words solidify the information I've been given in an unofficial capacity until today.

They are small.  They aren't something that everyone gets to see.

To me, today, they represent the culmination of 6 years of hard word and sacrifice.  Today, these are the sweetest words I've read in a long time.

5 words.  Today, after reading them I raised my arms above my head, screamed out in joy and started crying.  My journey finally being done.

6 long years of sacrifice, hard work, determination, perserverence, travel, drive, passion, examinations, trials, stress, anxiety, anger, frustration, loss, and joy.  Today, for the first time I allowed myself to finally, completely and totally relax.

Today, I know that on June 12th, 2013 I will be hooded and accepted into the halls of higher learning as a graduate.  My journey has ended.  I have reflected on my journey.  I have slept.  I have sat.

I am a graduate and nothing, nothing can take that away from me.

*Aside: how fitting that this is also my 600th post on this blog!  

It just keeps rolling back

That debt of mine is on a ROLLBACK!

Hey, if Walmart can roll back their prices, I can rollback my debt right?!

Payday was yesterday.

My regular check also came with my expense check, my lost mileage check, and a medical reimbursement.

My regular $750 payment to the debt was boosted by an extra $150 from the mileage and expense checks.  The medical reimbursement is now sitting in my medical jar.  The reimbursement will fund this expense for the remainder of the year.  So, at month end, I'll also be able to move the amount for medical in my budget to debt.

I have one more medical reimbursement coming this month.  With this one, I'll set a portion into my medical jar for future use, and the rest will be smacked right back on the debt.

I'm on track to reach the $16,300 owing in May.  Depending on when this other medical reimbursement comes, I may even break into the $15,000's owing...that would be a HUGE month for the debt!



This long weekend I'll be taking the time to get my apartment cleaned and in order.  I've got a few projects I half started and then didn't get too.  Starting in the bedroom, I'll be working forward to the front door.  It's all about moving forward!  The stale energies will move along the apartment better that way, and I won't feel quite so overwhelmed with all that needs to get done by moving from an area of least work to an area of most work.  Tackling smaller projects in the beginning and larger ones at the end will keep my momentum going.

Kind of like debt for some of you.  Tackling the smaller ones is often fuel for you to get moving, and provides the early wins we are kind of programmed with so we can tackle increasingly difficult things as we go.

I've updated my sidebar again.  I'm nearly at the 25% mark!  Hard to believe that most of that came in May alone!

 And with the school done, and the apartment energy reset I'm doing tomorrow, I'll be able to spend another day getting myself ready to begin my side hustle again.  This will help bring in the needed extra money each month, so I can knock this sucker off my list of things to do, and my goals to accomplish, and remove that gloomy cloud that sits over my head.


I'm going to celebrate my small success this month by preparing my fields for the rain that is coming!  I do not need to "treat" myself with anything this month.  I have everything I want.  I am in awe of myself sometimes - being able to knock out $2000 in debt in this month already!  Some working on the budget and monies this weekend may produce more fruit as well.

Wishing all my fellow Canadians a Happy 2-4 Weekend!
