Happy 4th of July

Today is a day of celebration for some, reflection and even mourning for others. But for most, today was a day off work to drink beer, hang out at or on the lake, and ooo/ahhh at fireworks. Religion may be the opiate of the masses, but leisure time is Valium.

Because the weather was so bad today (thunderstorms rolled in and out all day), we decided today was the day to catch up on bills. All our check registers have been sadly neglected since the beginning of the year. I got a lot done, but I could use at least two more days to complete the task. Once we have a better idea of where we are, we can take a stab at how to get ourselves on a firmer financial footing. Today was also Nestina's first day at a new job at one of the local resorts. It sounds like they didn't have any trouble keeping her busy, which is always a good sign. She was too tired for fireworks, and neither of us were in any real hurry to deal with people, so we stayed home and listened to the fireworks from the basement.

And it is getting close to bedtime.
