My daughter and her boyfriend spent the night here after attending a wedding. I sent them off with a care package of a few non-perishable groceries. Seems their house-mate in charge of paying the electric bill the last couple of months has waited too long and it has been turned off twice. They need a new arrangement or it can affect their credit. Part of the learning process in college--how to pay the bills. :-/

I have to trim my yard out front today then mow the back and winterize the mower. And get more stuff listed on eBay. I also have bills to pay. . .

Oy. It's going to be a christmas like no other, I can see that now. I hope those retailers don't put themselves too much into debt ordering stuff no one is going to come in and buy. Just tread water for a while.
