Cash

I am working on a budget for this year (not on my list, but something I wanted to do since I haven't followed an actual budget for several years now; with the mortgage payment, I really need to be watching my money a little more closely), and as much as I love my house, it is putting a serious dent in my cash flow.  I was planning on doing a budget anyway, but I realized that with some of the things on my list, I am going to need to specifically budget for those items, i.e. classes, bicycle, Butler donation.  Makes me realize I really need to push lottery tickets to the top of my to-do list for this week!

I got some more reasons entered in on the list.  Part of me keeps wanting to edit some of them as I transcribe from my scrapbook, but I want to keep them the same and then add on if I feel like something warrants it.  Let me tell you, that was the most writing I've done at one time in a loooong time!  Probably since college and our insane PDA and therapeutics classes.  It actually felt kind of good (with the exception of the sore spot on my middle finger, since that callus is long gone).  I like writing, but I use the computer so much these days that writing seems only for post-its and my calendar.

I received an e-mail today that my meditation beads are already in the mail!  I will post a picture when they arrive.  I am very excited about them.  It doesn't help that I have a headache right now and the idea of meditation sounds pretty good.  I usually don't like to meditate before bed, so I think I will just take my shower and hopefully that will help ease the pain for now.
