The Nikki has a blog! She’s waxing verbose about the different aspects of her life (mother, wife, student, friend, etc.) in an attempt to break free of the shackles of academic style writing (among other things). Check out all of the hats she wears here<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Medical appointments abounded last week, I tell you what. Nikki threw her back out, we both got eye exams and ordered new glasses, and I drank a radioactive milkshake and then got my eating tubes x-rayed (these are different than the internet tubes). The after effects of barium are far more strange and uncomfortable than the chalkiness of the drink. I didn’t know that they had live X-ray machines that display live to a TV! It was pretty sweet.<\/p>\n

I find myself, as I’m sure many are, worrying about money. As things go, we’ve got a roof over our heads and food in our bellies, so we’re better off than most of the world. We’ve got entertainment, transportation (as long as nothing breaks), and I’m employed.<\/p>\n

I’ve started the next sentence two or three times, and I’m just not comfortable airing details. We’re riding the line close enough to worry every month, but not enough to lack an internet connection or have to sell our possessions. Others have it so much harder, but my family is what hits me in my gut.<\/p>\n

Buying a house for a family of our size is cheaper monthly, in many cases by quite a bit, than renting. This is currently blowing my mind, and is bringing out a lot of personal demons regarding abandoning my dreams, permanence, and entropy vs. upkeep.<\/p>\n
