I didn't log my upcoming auto insurance payment into my budget spreadsheet.  I don't know why -- I knew it was coming, but I just didn't enter it.  So when it hit the bank account this morning, it left a balance that was surprising. I'm okay, just have to adjust my mind a little bit, as well as the spreadsheet.  My semiannual insurance payment is $747 -- quite expensive.  Older driver in a high-density setting.

I've been doing well on my resolutions.  One day I did not write.  I was feeling a little depressed, and it wasn't conducive to writing.  I have to bear in mind that I won't always feel like being creative.  So maybe that shouldn't be a daily resolution.  Maybe more like a 5 out of 7.

Part of my housework yesterday was going through a canister of pens and pencils and throwing away the ones that wouldn't write.  Quite a few were dried up, but that's not the interesting part.  At the bottom of the canister I found about 10-15 buttons, and a necklace that I had been missing. Weird.

Today I'm venturing out because I have a mammogram scheduled. Luckily, our storm wasn't nearly as bad as predicted, and I have cleaned off the car and it looks like I'll be able to pull out easily.

It's getting very cold tomorrow. That prediction will probably prove true!
