My grandma is 100. Lovely forum people sent lovely cards. In response to one that said “I can only imagine the stories you have to tell!” My grandma replied: “part of making it this far is having the discretion not to tell them”

Had the green chile burrito of my dreams today. I managed to not spend money at any restaurants over the past 4 months (because debt/savings goals) and I hit a milestone this week and decided it was burrito time!

I had a good day with a bad part or two. Yay good days! And after the last bad part I got sushi from the very good place and it is very good.

The annual statement from the pension at my old job came. I really don’t understand how they work, but apparently I’m 10% closer to FI than I was an hour ago.

I did some bookkeeping. Installed my scanner software on my new laptop and scanned in tax and health documents. Then tried to open an Excel document and realized that I don’t have the executable for Office 2010, although I have a legal key. Cannot download from anywhere because it was a “home use program” key purchased through work, and I’m no longer employed with access to my work e-mail. Ended up installing Apache OpenOffice which is free and working pretty great.
I think I set up most everything I need on my new laptop now!

OpenOffice is awesome. That suite of programs is my go-to.

It’s the last week of school for my kids! And it’s only 4 days, not 5, thanks to furlough days. And the work is light. Such a relief; I’m exhausted trying to get my teenager through her work each day (while also doing my own full-time job…)

The city of Birmingham, Alabama is pulling down the confederate monument downtown in defiance of state law. The city’s mayor promised protesters last night that if they would Give him 24 hours, he would get it down. The protesters were about to try to pull it down, and it’s a giant stone obelisk – people would’ve been killed. Looks like, when all is said and done, it will probably have taken him 26 or 28 hours to get the job completely done. I don’t think anybody’s going to begrudge him the extra couple hours. That man probably has a job for life if he wants it.

Toddler did not nap today and Mr H was on parenting duty, so I took a half an hour break from work to take overtired toddler for a walk in the pram. Ohmygoodness, it feels GOOD to have stretched my legs! I am not getting nearly enough exercise right now and I’d forgotten how great it is just to get outside and move.
