Egads! I held on to today's mail but just googled and they are closed tomorrow. I was confused because the county offices were closed today - because they aren't open on Saturdays and needed to get their holiday. Usually it's all the same day... and lots of holidays are celebrated on the day before or after if it hits on a weekend. Oh well. I had a box full of mail and thought maybe I forgot to pick it up yesterday, but I didn't. Probably the same with the bank, which I would have done today if I'd been thinking straight.
Harriet, sounds like you did a good job at the meeting. Your guy "friend" (do we call him a chauvenist
) is way behind the times.
We have a yearly budget. Every department, ministry, etc. is allocated their $ and if they don't use it they lose it the next year. Our deaconess committee had a budget for the stamps we used for sending out the get well, sympathy cards and one year the gal in charge of that just donated her own stamps. The next year there was no budget for it. We actually print a monthly total budget and total income and it's easy to see if we're behind or ahead by just reading the program.
I didn't get a whole lot done. But, something is always better than nothing. I jumped in the shower and decided to go run to the hairdresser for a hair cut. I was beyond shaggy. Got that done (she cut it a little longer than I'd hoped) but better. Sitting in front of the big mirror with the lights convinced me I need to visit my colorist, the gray is getting beyond ridiculous.
Helped DH empty his truck and handed him lumber while he stacked from the tall ladder, and the scraps went out to the fire pit. Dinner was easy, red beans and rice and tossed salad. I need a rest.
AustinGranny, can you send your neighbor here to do my 2 area rugs? My shampooer doesn't work right any more.
Kathryn, can't blame you for not wanting to go to Africa. Plague appears to be spreading to other countries. Couple different kinds. Fleas and rats. Yikes!
