So, thanks to the others out in the wilds of the internet who are a bit cleaning-impaired like I am being supportive and lovely, tomorrow I can call the plumbers to get things fixed in the upstairs bathroom!!

And as far as the goals I set back in September? Not too bad.

– Carport/porch ready for kids at Halloween? Did it – bit messy again due to other things, but easily remedied.
– Kitchen was in fantastic shape for Thanksgiving BEFORE 11/1 and HAS STAYED THAT WAY.
– Living room can always use some work, but it is definitely good enough for the holidays.
– Care Credit is PAID OFF.
– May not make the 10K in the bank goal by year end, but major dental work has been held until insurance/FSA resets in January.

Pretty fucking pleased with this turn of events.
