good news
On this morning's exercise, along with the usual robins, cardinals, and sparrows, I saw a red-bellied woodpecker, fleetingly.
And, while I was under budget for the month, I had a huge unbudgeted expenditure (glasses plus contacts) that wiped out my savings. But, wait, I remembered to put money into my cafeteria plan this year, plus I get a refund from the insurance for part of the cost of the glasses. So, yay, savings are reinstated! I take a ton out of my paycheck before I see it for my 401k, but it's nice to be able to stick below a budget as well.
