I don't need the money, but it would probably be better to have it in my pocket. My boyfriend gave me a mini-lecture tonight and told me that I will be sad when I have burned through all my savings for nothing.

I do need to start setting some goals. I have been drifting aimlessly for too long and it's very, very hard to get back on track. I kind of just fill my days with nothing in particular, small gardening/cooking projects, too much web surfing, some volunteer work.

I think I am going to email her asking for more information and giving her an hourly rate.
