My wife the writer

I'm so impressed with my wife.  Some people afflicted with migraines that made going to the office 9-5 a migraine trigger hell of florescent lights and eye strain would simply give up.  Instead my wife is busily reinventing herself as a writer. Work on a her novel continues a pace (although she has yet to let me read more than the occasional snatched glimpse), and she posts weekly on the flourishingedge blog.  Now we've started studying html competitively as part of our gamification of our lives with habitrpg.  Brenna is not one let anything define her.

It's a lucky thing that as a geek I make enough to not worry about the loss of income.  Sure I was happy when we became DINK/DILDOs (dual income no kids / dual income large dog owners) as the extra money was nice, but I've always subscribed to the idea that past a certain point more money doesn't make you happier.  There are some classes of problems that throwing money at will completely solve, but past that you have to ask yourself what personal cost does the increasing your income cost? Ah 1st world problems....
