Finances aren't really the world's business, but I am excited.  Today the payment going to the mortgage brings my number down into 5 figures.  I'm excited to log into the servicing website to see that number once it processes.  I have been pushing hard on this, so I have to celebrate the progress.  I'd like to get it done before Avery goes to school (that is if I make her wait until 2023 to go) but that is a big push.

Last night I did my first volunteer activities with Merlin's Safe Haven Cat Rescue (where Church came from).  Digging to find information on people is kind of fun for me, so it's a good fit and it helps out.  It feels good to be participating with a rescue again, even if it is awkward that it is a cat rescue rather than a dog rescue.
