Had a hard time falling asleep last night (Wednesday into Thursday) Just couldn't convince my body and mind that I was tired.

Really good weight this morning. Not quite a record for the year, but not far off.

Spent a lot of time this morning re-balancing the budget as General Savings had reached the “Full” goal. It's really exciting to reach “Full” on any of the savings accounts without it needing to immediately be needed. I needed to balance things out as since it was full and I don't need to add or remove anything from General Savings I deleted all of the reminders in Quicken of the transfers into General Savings. Now if I can only get Bill Savings and Project Savings up to “Full” everything else can go to the House Savings. I bumped up the goals in the later two savings accounts to higher amounts to make them easier to see and tell them apart in Quicken. I really hope I'm not getting too overambitious in my savings goals.

Mom had a doctor's appointment this morning. The Handyman got here to finish the floor just as she got back. It was a bit awkward as I had put some bratwursts in the oven and they were still baking when he got here. When he was working on the floor around where the ovens and sink were he asked if the ovens were on for a reason. Well in the top oven Mom was drying out eggshells and in the lower one I had just finished the bratwursts. He seemed to be fine with it as he was just wanting to know if the oven was on that low of a temperature for a reason as if it was running somebody should know about it. He didn't have to get under the ovens, but he did have to move the dish washer out to replace the floor tiles under the dishwasher. He said that it was important to have the dishwasher on the same level because if it were somehow lower if the dishwasher needed servicing they would have to pull up the entire floor to get to it. I had to go to work just as he was pulling out the washer. But when I got home this evening Mom seemed to be satisfied with the results.

Long day at work. I was a carryout for the first half of the day and worked the desk for the second. My left foot was telling me that I really should have sat down more yesterday. I was going to pick up some Icy Hot on the way home (not sponsored) but I was more than halfway home when I remembered that I was wanting to grab that.

Bratwursts for lunch were a bit over cooked, not burnt. But not very fun to eat after reheating them in the break room microwave. Still think that cooking a meat for lunch in the morning and bringing it for lunch is a good idea, just if I do bratwursts again I'll have to cook them for less time. 

As I was closing the desk I got home late and Mom was already in bed so I grilled some hamburger patties for myself.
