To offset the QQ, I’ve got a bizarro QQ blog post. I couldn’t think of the opposite for QQ though, hence the smiley. Anywho, bragging incoming.

Bethany has visited Michigan every couple months. Each time, her biological dad has contacted me to arrange times to pick her up. And you know what? It’s been awesome spending time with her.

I’ve lost weight. Been consistently walking 2 miles a day, eating less food, drinking more water, etc. I feel pretty fricken proud when others take notice. More progress means more noticeable changes.

Financially, I’m doing much better now than when I was in a relationship. No longer living paycheck-to-paycheck and I’m consistently able to pay the less-strict bills too. I’ve wanted a healthy savings account since I started at LW and now it takes little effort to keep one thriving.

I’ve got a lot of relationships that I’m extremely grateful for. Ones involving babes, even. I’ll have to ‘yadda yadda’ the benefits of those ones. :P

I’m good at my job, enough so because I’m sought after for advice from n00bs as well as senior folk. Feeling useful is more valuable to me than being paid more.
