I feel stuck.  Having home owners insurance and two tax bills arrive, I haven't seen my slush fund incrementing as I would have anticipated in the past two months.  The good news is that I did get a bit of a tax refund to offset some of it, or it wouldn't have just been stagnant growth it would have been negative.

My brain is twirling with smaller improvement ideas, but I have to keep them at bay and put my eyes on the prize.  I wish I was passionately excited about one of my flooring options.  I did have the second provider return, and he disagrees that a glue-down would be required.  While this opens more options in flooring selection it also makes even more doubts and second guessing swirl.

One perk of having been sick is that my appetite was way down.  I've decided to try and embrace this as a leaping off point, not allowing myself to return to post-ick consumption.  The scale is responding, for now - I know losing weight this way is short lived; I am hoping it serves as motivation.  I definitely saw my first robin w/o his friends earlier this week.  I am hoping nicer weather will inspire me too.  Of course, this just reminds me that I'm behind as I haven't put a single seed into dirt yet.

I purchased some snow crab legs for dinner tonight - I haven't bought those in many years but thought "what the heck" when I spotted them on sale.  It'll be fun to see what Avery thinks.  She does like a california roll, so this should be better, right?
