Adjusting to being a LBS #2

[Subitai]

We need to do some financial divesting, first. Right now, almost all our money goes to 'joint' accounts. So buying new clothes has bad optics.

It's early to tell on the bird nesting. It's still 'shared space' but hopefully we'll be able to adjust to it. Leaving it clean, etc, is going to be vitally important to making her feel like it's 'hers' as well as mine. Some individual storage areas would be nice, so you can sweep anything that is 'yours' away for the rest of the week if you're not bringing it back and forth. She is loathe to spend money on the place, so arguing for a dresser/storage/etc might be pretty hard.

Still trying to be a lighthouse. It's just so discouraging to see so little progress in several months. Gotta stay focused, continue GALing, and keep working on myself for me and the kids.
