Since the end of the month is coming fast, I started the process to assess my spending categories. I found I had neglected to record a few things, so my variables are higher than I thought -- 111%, so, 11% over budget. With only two days left, I think I can keep it there.
The cold I caught last weekend has lingered all week. The first few days it was very strong and I was pretty miserable. It is finally abating. I feel much clearer, though not completely clear.
I felt good enough to go to GS1's baseball game last night. A cold front came in as we sat there. I was glad I had brought a hoodie, even though it seemed like a ridiculous thing to do when I grabbed it. The game was short, as it was a slaughter, and unfortunately, it was our team that was slaughtered. But that was not unexpected. They were playing a very strong team. GS1 knew a lot of the kids on the other team, and he had a good time playing them.
GS2 has gone to camp, and I sent him an e-letter this morning. He will be gone for two weeks this time. This is a Y camp. They are at half capacity, and the cabin mates are going to take part in planned activities as a pod to prevent too much interaction. All the campers are under 12, so unvaccinated. They posted pictures yesterday, and they were all wearing masks. For the pictures, anyway!
Back to financial news, as soon as my automated payments to the utilities go through from my new bank account, I'm going to close the old one. That should happen within a few days.
I got three replies from Equifax the other day in response to my request for my credit report. The first one I opened said I was not entitled to a copy, as I had already received one within the last 12 months (not true!) The second one was a sternly worded letter saying I had to supply more ID. The third was the report. This does not give me great faith in the service. Anyway, I looked through the report, and did not see anything alarming. I will continue on the freeze on all three reports until I have a need to unfreeze them.
