susandennisI spent a good bit this morning figuring out how much money I need to live on until the end of the year. Since work is slow (and I only get paid when I work) and I'm having to have such a giant chunk o' money taken out my 401K tax benefit, my net salary could be down to a couple of hundred every two weeks between now and the end of the year.
This will not keep me in the style to which I have become accustomed... So it's time to break into the investment bank. My investment guy was the one who advised me to max out the 401K contribution saying we'd fill in with cash if needed. I wanted to make sure he had the right nums. Job is done but also done, I think, is my spending spree for the year. Fortunately, I have CES airfare and hotel deposit all paid for. And that's the biggest non-necessary expense I can think of coming up.
I skipped the pool today. I probably didn't have to but, really, I'd like to get this knee closer to fighting shape. I'll go tomorrow for class.
My new Nexus tablet is nice. Very nice. I do like it better than the Fire. And I'm expecting it to only get better with upgrades.
I had Chef Anita's gazpacho for lunch It was delicious. It's not something I could eat every week for a year but in Summer, it's such a lovely treat.
And speaking of lovely treat, I'd like to commend our weather. It's been perfect for me. Not much sun and no humidity and breezy Nice.
Time to get the ice off my knee and back in the freezer.
