Recording this for the record.
Pausing for two months. Not a failure, not a moral event, just a month where the money is not there.
A price change and a long analysis of it.
Told my partner what it actually costs. That conversation was overdue by about four months.
Price went up mid-year and I had a very unglamorous evening with a calculator and a cup of tea.
Did the arithmetic out loud, on the page, no rounding. It is a lot. Seeing it written down was steadying rather than frightening, which I had not expected.
