@Angela273 Hugs to you for missing your cat. We lost our last pet 5 years ago now and I just can't do another cat. I loved him so much. He was a Himalayan. We have a wild cat on property. He helps with the mice. Every time we think he his gone, he makes an appearance. We call him McSwat because when he was a kitten he use to swat at my husband.
@Giseledta I am glad you are looking hopeful for September even if the summer months are looking more slim. We are now on month 9 of one income unexpectedly and are doing okay!
I am done school and taking a full week to veg. My whole classroom is in my basement now so I am learning to live with that clutter! We are also getting retro pay for our contract settlement in July. Our budget is still $500 short each month that we have to make up somehow, so the retro pay should help keep us debt free. We have been creative so far so I am not worried. We may trim the budget still as I would like to save for a new mattress, fence and front door.
Off to weed and read. We will also be making jam as my daughter decided to pick the mulberries from our tree this morning.
AND my sister had her baby yesterday. A healthy boy. First boy on my side of the family. His name is Cooper. My sister is super cautious about COVID so if I can hold him prior to his first birthday I will count myself blessed. ;)
