The bit about money and how it throws you off is a pretty profound thought, kk.
I like it.
Sounds like you're creating a good life for yourself. That's so awesome.
It's the middle of the day here and we're on flood watch! I live right on a river, there is a big hill behind and with so much rain of course there is the possibility of mudslides too. Winter can be a little nerve-wracking in the rain forest. The river has come up a few feet this morning and it's concerning. I'm going to go move my car out of the neighborhood here as soon as I finish my tea.
