I can tell that we are almost to the end of April. Every year at this time, with the income tax behind us and the June 30th statements not yet here...I feel the need to some quiet and relaxing time. I am really looking forward to our vacation in May!
We'll have a weekend together in Bellevue, then I'll fly to California for a week of fun in the sun while Larry returns home to work and then Larry will pick me up at Sea-Tac the following weekend and we'll spend a weekend in Bellevue together again before heading home. I need that week in California. I want to be away from everything! This will be my alone time this year. As Lucille is no longer with us, I am not going to do the drive to Grand Forks and Castlegar this year. I may do it next summer but...just not this year.
I heard some dripping in my sleep the other night and checked all over the place and couldn't find a water problem. When Larry went down in the crawl space this morning to get the summer tires, he found a joint that had a leak. Oh yeah! I guess it's time to get a plumber in...if Larry can't fix it himself. This is the most horribly expensive month! First I broke my tooth and need a gold crown ($500), I need a new mouth guard ($500), car servicing ($450), exterminators ($500) and now a plumber on a weekend (probably another $500!). Yikes $2,500 worth of unexpected bills! :-(
No wonder I need a vacation! Thank goodness I had the car repair money set aside. The rest is going to have to come from our emergency funds account. That's sure going to make a big dent in it!
