Finally Sunshine Today!

March 25th, 2011 at 03:42 am

And it sure does improve the mood. It was a day rife with disasters, but they all seemed to roll right off me. I suspect it was the sunshine. Two more days until DH comes home from England. My goal is to have the house spic and span, good food in the fridge, and lots of welcome for him.

Some spring break--I'm still not caught up with my grading or laundry, but while the sun shone, it doesn't seem to matter!

I sold another couple of books--including some gift books I've been given. I feel vaguely guilty, but my book shelves are overflowing.

We did get the projections for all the state budget hurt today. For folks like me on a nine-month paycheck, we'll pay four months of health insurance premiums at the new doubled rate on our June paychecks, I figure between that and the dental insurance, they might as well pay me in quarters, dimes, and nickels. There won't be much else there.

I continue to look for places to economize--and my big excitement besides cleaning and grading tomorrow is a church rummage sale. What bliss!

    Church rummage sales can be a blast! I've helped out at a few of them and always had fun. I even procured my coffee table from one of them at a low cost (it was still there at the end of the day, so I made an offer.)

    Who can grade when the sun is out? Smile

    That is a really significant hit on the insurance rates, I can't believe how expensive it is getting for coverage in the States! I remember when we went on COBRA a few years back and we were paying over $1200 per month to cover our family of three (at the time). It would lead to more out of pocket than our mortgage! Sorry to hear that they are sticking it to you like that.
