I hope everyone reading this had a wonderful Christmas, and that your wallets are still fairly intact.

I ended up getting some money that I wasn’t expecting until later this week late last week, so I had a little Christmas cash to spend. I should have put it all toward the bills, but I had to get Pumpkin a couple of things. We picked up small gifts for the kids on the list, and everyone else will be getting baked goodies later this week. So I was still reasonably frugal.

I’m still cautiously optimistic about the New Year. If I can just hang in there for another week, things should begin to improve.
