You sound like you need to start using your prns now and not wait for things to get worse. It sounds like you're already going up and you need to prevent it getting worse.

I love ground turkey too. You can sub it for ground beef in Mexican recipes easily. I make a southwestern turkey soup that is healthy and tasty. It also works well for tacos.

I'm having trouble reading all the posts and skimmingover some of the longer ones. I hope it is not a sign of hypomania especially since my spending was pretty high last month.

Something good happened yesterday. H is a founder of a nanotech company in India. He consults with the group every Friday on lab procedures and troubleshooting. It has been close to 10 years but FINALLY the company is making enough to pay H for his time. We got the first payment yesterday retroactive from January, and with that, H was able to pay off our smaller of our 2 mortgages. We still have the larger mortgage, but the smaller one had a pretty high interest rate too. So we now owe $11,000 less on our home which hopefully should work toward building more equity in our house. We still have I think 11 years on the larger mortgage though
