Title: Striving To Eventually Pay All of my Bills

Here I chronicle in brief my attempt to become a functioning adult. I would like to know what that's like. See the comments for daily updates.

This doesn't work either. I'm just going to be bitter, remorseful, miserable, and unmotivated all day, every day. And that's fine. Whether I get some work done or not, it's fine. It's pithy, unconvincing garbage, but I just have to put one foot in front of the other. That's the best answer I have, and it'll have to do.

I was actually interested to see those first couple of posts on this thread. I thought that was neat. ...exhausting, but neat.

If I ever figure it out, I'll let you know.
