Taxes

Paid the taxes today. A month early. And yes, had to pay. Normally I would be annoyed for a few hours then off doing whatever the day had in store. A bit different this time. It didn't rattle me but it did shine a light on some habits that I want to change. I am taking the rest of the day to be as frugal as possible while still maintaining a high quality of life. That means making a scrumptious dinner with what I already have in the house, watching movies and listening to music I already own, and doing some jewelry projects with on-hand materials. Of course petting the animals is always quality time, but I will make sure to do more today. I'm feeling contemplative but not too serious. Sometimes it takes something minor to spur you in a good direction. Taxes, not the something I expected, but hey, take your inspiration where you can.

Weather

So last week this is what it looked like here in the DC area (Chewie of the North)












And this morning this is what I saw. Daylight Savings has hit. Normally it would be very bright and sunny this time of the morning (about 7:30) instead the sun was just really starting to wake up the day. Good thing I like sunrises so much.
