2021 Goals, 2nd Quarter Update


Car is still on track to be paid in full, seven more payments to go!  And still haven’t hit 40,000 miles on her 😀   The drainage issue is in progress, but Texas weather hasn’t been cooperating with the company thanks to it continuing to randomly drop heavy rain.  As they must use a backhoe to do so the work, yard has to dry out first, then as soon as it does, we get more rain.  *ugh*

I did add one new goal after finally hitting the button on a lifelong dream: I haz a piano!  A lovely Alesis digital piano… now to learn to play it 😀
