Remembering how

I checked the credit-union website today, wondering what the checking account was looking like.

Not too shabby. My offhand calculation is that we took in some $750 less this month than when I was full-time and David was TAing. And despite paying almost $600 in university fees (which are not remitted along with tuition) and a couple of hefty-ish credit card bills, the account is in roughly the same spot now as this date last month.

I’m guessing (and I’m honestly not sure; we’ll see what the paystubs look like tomorrow) we haven’t got more than another hundred or two monthly to lose. Looks like we can handle that. I’m glad to know I haven’t entirely let go of the art of living like… well, a graduate student.
