Only until Valentines...when I will break the fast (so to speak) with baked stuffed lobsters and champagne! Have lost 9 lbs in Jan and hoping for 3.5 more by then!!!
Meanwhile, I am as cranky as a two year old!
You are aware that it is a plan of last resort given the hormonal napalm it creates?! It isn't supposed to be a method of birth control for the lazy or irresponsible.
I was single for about 8 years in my 40s and perfectly happy with my life...when "he" showed up. It had been a long time since I had lived with someone or had to consider any other interest but my own. Speed bumps...sure. But the journey is more fun with a partner. Worth remembering how to compromise.
I pay almost $800/monthly for insurance and have a $2000 IN network deductible and $4000 OUT of network. What? I'll be damned if the idiots who manage my insurance are going to tell me who I can and cannot see when I live in a state that has the top medical facilities available.
So...somehow I am responsible for the first $10k of any bills? ?
I do love that about our spinach!
And I think you are right on food costs here --- our entire interior of the USA is farm country and what we don't grow we import from Mexico without much in additional shipping costs.
