twenty-one july ninety eight two a m an unexpected discrepancy I was going to post the previous item in a timely manner. I was also going to write about how industrious I had been this evening. I not only made the car happy, but did laundry, cooked a big pot of gumbolike stuff, and put my finances in order. Any one of these things would normally suffice as my duty for the night. To accomplish all four in one day indicates that I'm feeling especially guilty about being non-productive, a theory which my mood earlier in the day supports. The gumbo was an especial triumph, since I am generally not very good at the "let's see what's in the fridge to use" school of improv cooking. But it was lovely and we each had about a quart of it. Unfortunately all of this has been rather tainted by the fact that in doing my ledger I found a large discrepancy between the amount of money I think I have and the amount the bank thinks I have. And now I've been up late trying to clear through a huge backlog of unreconciled bank statements, because I want to make sure I haven't missed something obvious before I call the bank in the morning. Not the way I wanted to spend my evening's free time, although it is rather nice to not feel guilt about that huge pile of unreconciled bank statements for a change. © columbine |
