I live, write, and garden in the PNW with my husband of 27 years, disabled daughter, college-aged son, and my 84-year-old mother. We have paid off $250,000.00 worth of debt (if you include the interest) in the last fifteen years and as of 6/12/2020 are 100% DEBT FREE!!!!I've been walking around in a fog for the last few days. A few nights of insomnia will do that to you. I finally slept last night and have my head on straight again to think about finances. It's not like I was going out and spending or anything, I just wasn't focusing enough to write too much.
My birthday present came and my husband, forgetting that it was my birthday present, opened it and started using it before I even had the chance to see it. Now I won't have anything to open on my birthday. I was more than a little annoyed with him. Okay, he would have had to set it up for me anyway, but I could have at least opened the box.
In the old, old, old days I would have used this as an excuse to go out and buy myself something else. I am glad I don't have that mindset anymore, but the thought did cross my mind. What's up with that?
MIL agreed to watch DS and DD will be going to a birthday party so that DH and I can go out to eat for my birthday. Well, the day before my birthday, as I want to spend the actual day with the kids, too. We will be going to Burlington. Maybe I'll have us stop by Krispy Kreme while we are there. That's a rare treat. Just a doughnut though, not a dozen! Don't need them in the house.
I need to make a bill paying post and update a few other things, too, when I get the chance.

My husband intercepted a box from the UK meant for my Christmas gift. I thought that was grand, that way I wouldn't see the custom slip, but he went out of his way twice to mention what it was. Gee, thanks.
I remember stopping at the premium outlets with my late mother (she wasn't dead at the time) when we were jaunting between Seattle and Vancouver/Surrey.
