Goooaal!

I've met a couple of short-term goals on my to-do list, but that's about it. Still, not too bad considering I've quickly had to add things to the list, without removing things from it. Ahh, such is life.

I should have some time, hopefully, to sort out details of a coupla projects. I need to e-mail about three people regarding an article in progress. Once I have their responses, I'll feel much better about wrappin' that up.

Additionally, I used one of my sisters as a sounding board, as well as a close friend and I was able to get some clarity concerning some issues in my recent posts. The "short & skinny" is that I've made some decisions about pre-tax items that will enable me to be in better control and hopefully build a cushion. That'll ease a bit of stress. In the meantime, I will work on honing/developing new skills as I mention in a previous post.

My car's goin' into the shop (again!) for some fairly routine maintenance. The last visit was another heavy-hitter, but at that point, the car was in a "workable" state, so everythin' else from that point forward should be routine. I hope I don't hear differently tomorrow.

The drawback is that I hafta drop it off in the am, before goin' to work. The bus line that I need to take doesn't run very well after 9 pm, which was when I could've dropped it off tonite. Instead, I'm gonna get up way too early, to drop it off & catch a bus to work.

I said/thought it last month, but once again I really hope it'll be a while, before I hafta take it back to the shop. I wish the shop was open on weekends or Saturday, but it ain't. C'est la vie, eh?

This week is crazy & I'm lookin' forward to this weekend's 2 fun events for me:

Juneteenth (had no idea about this bein' here until today & missed it last year).

A Touch of Portland, benefitting KBOO - a community radio station (and the only local one I listen to).

My "currently watching" selection (see what happens when I don't have cable TV?) is what I'm viewing on my lunch break, or listening to durin' the work day. Listening to the episodes makes me realize how solid the writing/acting was, because I don't have to watch the action unfold to feel all of the emotion/excitement.

Peace,

Moi
