i, too, am sick

I have a sore throat although it's not too bad. I'm treating it with chamomile tea and Ricola herbal cough drops. The tea is soothing if it's not too hot.

There's not much else going on except the health group is meeting soon. :)

I've been busy with that and with the FPU course. I finished the book last night and attempted to make a budget. I like my way better so I'm going to go back to it. I use an excel spreadsheet that has formulas so I can see how much I have left as I fill out the budget, and I can customize it for myself, so it's very clean and simple. Anyway, I have to do it again and finish up, and then put it to practical use with the envelope system. I'm actually looking forward to using the envelope system because it'll be easier to keep track of my budget that way. However, I don't like the leather case for the envelopes but I haven't found a substitute yet. I don't like leather.

Cleaning my desk off was definitely a good thing. I'm feeling much more productive over all. I still have to deal with some paperwork (all the stuff that has to be shredded) but I'll get to that when I can. I have a temperamental shredder.

It's rainy over here but I'm good with it. Not much wind, and that's what I don't like.

See some of yous soon. Happy Thursday.
