money
Sometimes the money thing just kicks my ass. I spent much of the last couple of days adding up receipts and generally taking measure of that part of my life. I thought that since I had a jobby job I wouldn't have to do all the adding up I had to do when I freelanced, but my accountant (the wonderful Vito of Vasco Accounting) tells me otherwise. I spent money on feng shui teachings and supplies, and since I also made money it makes sense to itemize and take a loss on that business if need be. So I dragged out all my receipts and tallied away. I'm amazed at all the stupid places my money went in 2004. And I'm amazed at how generous I am with other people, and how careful and cautious I am with myself. I don't want to stop the generosity, but I would like to share the love with myself. I also had a rude awakening re: my savings, I should have a few thousand more than I do in the bank. If I'm going to follow my plan, austerity measures might need to be put in place. Which brings me back to that lack of generosity towards myself. I guess I'll have to be generous in non-monetary terms.

When will the castles come?
