CUE HALLELUJAH CHORUS LOUD!!! TGI PAYDAY!!! Anyone who thinks money cannot buy happiness lives in Fantasyland. My happiness and hopefulness levels track directly with my bank balance and monthly cycle. No, not THAT monthly cycle, the monthly BILL cycle! Here is something funny: I looked at some of the online retirement calculators yesterday. If I retire at 67+, I may have more money during the month than I make now. Of course, as long as I don't touch those accounts, they continue to grow. That's only 11 years away
. My mood also improved tremendously last night, because I realized both roof leaks only appear with a strong wind out of the east. It still needs fixing, but it is not as horrible as I thought. And I FOUND my library card! It had gone behind a divider in the suitcase.
Girls' Night Out was homework for DD15 while I did daily stuff and party cleanup. Because the computer is in the shop, I did a good cleanup of the desk it sits on. Even put the scratch covering oil on. It looks better than it has in years! I had to leave towels on it, because I don't want Briggs' fur soaking up the oil. Got other cleanup done as well. The good thing about no computer is no jigsaw distractions. Drama is dealt with in the animal org - another mood lifter.
I have DD this weekend. The x and the other woman have plans for his birthday. We will likely eat out tonight, but not the expensive places. LOLs need to run too. Weekend focus is roof and yard work. It's been raining a lot, so I don't know how effective either will be. I want to turn over the swamp cooler (part of roof work). Secondary focus is sewing. Tertiary is party cleanup.
I am coming into the busiest part of my year - Halloween. I still have DPCs today, because I did not do them yesterday.
World's Cheapest "Laminator", works on larger sizes: Clear contact paper. Probably found with shelf liners. Doesn't take up space on your counter either.
