Upside, downside

One of the upsides to working at home is the fact that I'm gaining some weight again. (For me, that's a good thing. To a point, of course.)

The downside is that I am gaining weight because I've been getting absolutely no. exercise. at. all.

So, another upside is that I got my first paycheck today. With a constant pay level, I will be making effectively double what I've been getting on UI. Add to that the fact that I have temporary financial assistance on student loans and the mortgage. I may exit out of those plans early but for now I am seriously relieved. All this year has been seriously stressful financially.

At the moment, I need a lot of things I've been lacking or needing. Some new jeans, shoes, shirts. Nothing fancy or expensive. Glasses. Clothes for daughter. Supplies to finish daughter's room. Insulation. Things to finish building shelves.

And of course things for the holidays.
