no, not over that which shall not be discussed (ie the thing that happened yesterday...it's all the rage on MSM right now if you don't know what it is).
Happy/Joy over the fact that we are sooooo much closer to being debt-free now (thought the credit scores took a knock last month while waiting on the pay to come in). Went from $40k+ in debt to less than $20k. If all goes well, that will be halved again by the end of the year. If all does not go well over the next few weeks, miserly me will once again be squeezing pennies 'til they scream out for mercy in order to keep our feet under us. It has to be done...it must be done...and it has got to be done soon (due to the results of the thing that shall not be discussed and that thing called a fiscal cliff).
Still waiting on the VA letter so we can file some paperwork with DFAS (military pay crap for those that don't know) in order to get the taxes back that they took out of Tanker's NON-TAXABLE severance pay. Going to be cutting close on that as everyone knows how fast the VA moves and the paperwork has to be filed by the end of the year. If not, kiss that $7k adieu...NOT something I want to be doing.
Now that we're set to pull through the winter with everything (except milk 'cause no cow or eggs because the peepers aren't laying yet) and have all the things Tanker wanted/needed in the tool/large gnarly chainsaws with more power (grunt, grunt, grunt) area, I'm turning my eye to expanding on the flock and getting the field fenced in to keep future cow out of the backyard and out of the future orchard. Still sad I missed out on all the fall sales of orchard stock though. Lowe's didn't even have anything in the "help they're killing me" section. Sigh. Oh and keeping my eye out for a deep freeze...please don't open the freezer on the fridge, I don't think the insurance will cover broken appendages caused by falling frozen foods.
And now I'm off to attempt some sleep...tomorrow is likely to put me under!
