For the past couple of weeks, I've been feeling pretty meh about myself. I was having one of those Oh-my-God-why-can't-I-do-anything-right moments. The only thin body part I have left are my freakin' shoulder blades, I can't make heads or tails of my finances and I still have no idea how to establish a stable career for myself.

I’m back to finish my bitin blog post. :) Thanks for coming back to read the rest!
