I love the cloud-filled sky in the picture window. I sure understand your frustration. When we retired 20 years ago, we had saved money and paid off our home beforehand. We have a steady monthly retirement income, but you know, over the years, inflation has kicked that in the butt. Now, we have to be really careful what we spend those $$ on. That is one reason I grow as much food as I can, and process it to last all year.

I hope you can get back the hours you need. Jamie is a lot like me; I don't stress much about money until something huge and unexpected knocks on the door. lol Thinking good thoughts for you and sending them your way.
