I'm four weeks away from a return to unemployment so I'm practicing today. I think once everything is said and done I'll have earned close to $2k a third of which will go into deep savings to pay the taxes on it next year. The rest will be in shallow savings to cover the minor monthly cost over runs that occur and function is my first defense against emergent costs.
Today I'm going to do as near nothing as I can get away with. I've got a thick steak to cook outside after a while and I'll putter around picking up here and sweeping there and probably start a book that will likely be set aside until after the 15th of April. I really have nothing (other than the steak) that I have to do today.
So a quiet day planning for tomorrow. It is time to buy mulch. Time to buy some buffalo grass seed and see if we can get rid of the bare patches in our back yard. Time to put flower seeds in the pots. Soon it will be hot and dry and will remain so until fall.
