New Month, New Plan

Work has really been work this last month, and I think I'll leave it at that. It's a gorgeous weekend, my cupboards are full of food, and I need to make a meal plan to catch up. We hadn't been to the store in so long we just needed a general stock-up run, and I didn't have time to make a plan beforehand. We'll see what sorts of budgetary disasters ensue...we fronted a bunch of cash for half a cow and a summer's worth of organic veggies, and we're still paying that back to ourselves. I'd like to get far enough ahead that those investments don't send us into make-believe arrears, but we're not there yet.
