Hoping
Katrina looks nasty. I hope the best for New Orleans and her people. I find myself checking the forecasts every couple of hours, hoping the storm will turn aside or weaken. No such luck yet.
I asked David to dig out the old red ledger that I quit using for expense-tracking back in 2001. Time to start that up again; I need to figure out what our baseline expenses are these days. It’s not so much that I’m worried (though I do wish our Madison house would sell); it’s just that my money-sense is all discombobulated and I want to get it back.
I’m hoping we can buy something around here. Eventually. Right now, even when the Madison house sells, anything we’d want is pretty much out of our league. It’s almost amusing, the way I seem to manage to land us places we make half the local median income.
Eh, well. Half the local median income around here actually isn’t too bad; and I’ve been making do on half for so long that I suspect I’ll manage.
With the help of the old red ledger.
