Yesterday, I got a new (old) register for my checkbook, as I&#8217;d filled the last one up.  I updated the new one and balanced the checkbook, which always makes me feel good.

I&#8217;m so old.  :)<\/p>\n<p>I think I&#8217;m going to pick that Jyhad vs. McWorld book up again, as I can only refresh my friends page so often before I go nutty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Organization and writing letters are good ways for me to bring calm.
