I'm doing better. I let go a little bit in my head and it helped to wash away some of the anger and sadness that was building up. I am a little more at peace. Got up yesterday morning and did bills. Always a fun way to start the day. I am trying to pay off as much as possible for the month before we go to MI for the end of year. I don't want us stressing at all while we are there and I know that if I have everything paid off then there's nothing coming out of the check on the 18th and that will help reduce any potential stress. I know we're going to have to pick up at least one dinner or lunch for someone and I want to be ready. I hate when you're watching your bank balance and the numbers don't line up to what you have because things haven't posted and you're just like well that number is wrong. So I am watching things like a hawk right now.

Upside to being gone for the last three weeks of the year is no mileage on my car. I figured it out and we are averaging 600 miles a month. That breaks down to 7200 a year which is well below the allowance and the average. If I turn this thing in with 20,000 miles it will be a great resell for the dealer and give me a good value. Bright side.

Worked on my docs yesterday as much as I could. Demo writing is a challenge. It's not the easiest thing. I have 30 demos in this class and I managed to get 5 done. I will probably work today and get a couple more done. My goal for EOD Monday is at least to have 20 done. We shall see how I do. If I get to 20 then I can work a couple of hours after teaching every day next week to finish up the remaining. That way I won't have very much to do while on the road.

Went grocery shopping in the afternoon. I still need my niece to tell me what she wants for food in the house while we are gone. I want to make sure there's some stuff in here for her. I am going to leave money, but I also want her to have stuff too. I got more than enough to last us until we leave and some leftover. We played HP Lego last night. Got to 94% completion. We will hopefully finish it today. We watched a little TV and then we both were tired and went off to bed.

I did wake up at 3:15 this morning. I have already taken out the trash and started laundry. Look at me go.
