Not too bad!! 18% of my income saved, YAY! Big overspends were on Discretionary (lot of personal care items that are on an irregular schedule) and Charity – and I’m not gonna beat myself up about helping folks. Big underspend was Medical. (Whew!)

The house has been A STRUGGLE, y’all. Work is just taking a lot out of me and I’m only hitting the bare minimum any given day it seems. BUT – Iggy the Roomba has been a huge help – I run it every day in the kitchen/foyer/powder room, 3x a week in the living room/breakfast nook cause they’re heavy traffic, and 1x a week in the dining room/parlor. It forces me to take a couple minutes every day to make sure nothing is in the way and it is weird and awesome what a difference that has made.

Like, I’ve long had a problem with junk mail accumulating on the sofa, getting knocked to the floor and then just kicked all over the living room. No more. I am very seriously considering getting a second Roomba for the upstairs. I mean, anything that helps me keep my shit up off the floor…

But somehow, I did manage to beat Dusty this month!

Bring on May!
