A good start to the week...

I took advantage of the lull in work yesterday afternoon to compile my invoice for my activities since coming down to Houston. Between work for my client and a couple of other assignments, what was in all likelihood going to be a dismal month for billings is now only 7% short of my monthly "nut," and if I were a stickler and decided to bill today's and tomorrow's work (which I will do next week), I'd actually be just over my target.

Apartment hunting yesterday held no surprises, at least for me. Natalie found something she liked, but getting in (and staying in) may prove a challenge. For sure living in the new digs would result in a lower overall school bill, along with reductions in other expenses (tolls, for one thing). OTOH, nobody in this family seems comfortable with budgets, and that includes the parents.

I finished my assigned work about a half hour ago and let TPTB know about it. If I don't get anything in the next few minutes, I think I'll call it a day and go home. The sun is out and I frankly have no great hankering to fight traffic on the way home.

Cheers...
