A few notes

serene1) Well, if I'd wanted to, I could've thought of a more creative way to get out of doing the dishes than to chop off the tip of my thumb. Oh, well. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
someotherguy's being sweet about it; he's gonna help me wash my hair, and do the dishes for the time being. Fortunately, I can do other stuff, so I don't feel *totally* useless. I did some laundry today, and my typing isn't affected, so I didn't miss any work.
2) And speaking of laundry, I'm still really liking our new laundry machines. We've had them for two weeks, and even though we never did make a big trip to the laundromat, we're getting ahead of the laundry. We've practically gotten all our clothes clean; a couple more days, and we'll have it all done. After that, I'm hoping that a load or two a day will do us. (I'm feeling a little guilty that by "our clothes" I mean mine andsomeotherguy's, along with the household towels and stuff -- since sogwife has a washer at her house, we're letting her fend for herself.) I don't expect we're going to need the laundromat again except for the really big stuff like blankets and terrycloth robes. This is really saving us money.
3) Speaking of money, we took a HUGE tax hit this year (yes, W-4s are being adjusted) -- much larger than expected. Add that to the fact that I'm currently between contract gigs, and I hope y'all will forgive me if I'm not up for anything that costs money for the time being. :-) We're gonna be fine -- plenty of food, more than enough money to pay our bills. Just not LOTS more than enough, so we're gonna have to be really careful for the foreseeable future. I'm really resisting the urge to get a third job -- in the long run, I think that will hurt more than it will help.
4) Family stuff with my mom and the munchkins is really bad, but I can't talk about it without sinking into the pit of frustrated despair, so I think I won't. *sigh*
Love and smooches to you all.
