I've reread remarks on occasion also. They are interesting!

I feel like I'll have to shift gears this week - I'm going to program the thermostat back to the way it was a few weeks ago. It was changing the temperature right before I wanted to get up, but oddly, it was cooling the house a couple of degrees and always woke me before my alarm. I've thought about it and decided I kind of like that as far as making myself get up in the summer earlier so I can work outdoors or walk the dogs before it gets too hot.

Still no word from the bank, but I'd like to close on the house refinance in June if I can. I'm looking forward to finishing the process of the refinance and starting to save for things rather than put them on credit cards. This is the tipping point to existing solely on my own paycheck. The transition from having child support to not having it was relatively smooth, but this is the bit that makes it more comfortable.

Cleaning the kitchen and then slicing zucchini to make bread and butter pickles tonight. And I think I'll put a batch of tomatoes in the steam juicer and make some sauce. I'd like to clear out the batch that is piling up in the fridge (even after I emptied a bowl and a bin today at work with my fundraiser sale, I still have a lot to use!)
