Ah, a pleasant day.

A storm could brew up in a moment.  But for now it is... mostly pleasant?  It is 70, at 13:35.  So I opened up the place.  I turned the furnace down an hour or two ago?  Something like that.  But, just down to 70.  It is 74 in this front room, near the computer, but that is fine, for now.  I needed some warmth, and the kefir did too.  The kombucha is souring nicely, as well.

I received a few quick notes back, regarding recent short missives.  Advising compression socks, of some sort.  And asking about his cat.  His cat has liver problems, only thirteen, but terminal.  One to three years?  Do they ever know for sure?  It's a tight one.  Nothing to be done for it, but to enjoy your time with them.

He is... did... take my advice.  He has heard this before, but forgot.  Yes, I... do that.  You hear something enough times, eventually you go for it.  Compression socks, delivered today.  Or set to be.  Must be nice to live in some areas.  Though, I think he lives in a larger city.  Not... worth the price of admission.  If there are some perks.  My deliveries take weeks these days.

I was checking my finances for next month.  First thing I noticed?  My amazon account isn't tapped out?  Okay.  I use that just for that, and pay it off at the end of the month.  Or, beginning of the new month, to be exact.  It's been... high... recently, the last two or three months.  Well over the allowed limit, strangely.  Still, it was what it was.  Things to do.

That was pleasing.  But, more?  I get cash back.  On that, and another, card.  Both had a reasonable amount stored up.  I figured out how to use those on what is in my basket.  I paid for, probably about... three fifths of what I was planning to buy with the cash back rewards.  So?  So I'll pay off my card, then only spend ~$170 rather than ~$380 to $430?  Or... something like that.  And I won't buy more.  Put extra on certain debts.  But, I am in much better shape for that.

I love it when things work out a bit better than planned.  It's never perfect.  But, sometimes, it is better than anticipated.  Ugh.

Now, to shower, brush the teeth, and trim the whiskers.  Probably in reverse order to that listed.  Then... get dressed and on with other plans.
