Planning is good

This morning a second credit card got paid off in as many pay periods (and unlike the one two weeks ago, this one will be killed off as well). Gradually getting rid of this consumer debt, now just three more cards to go (the legacy of graduate school and living with The Ex).

Feels so good when planning pays off and you can look at bills and say, "Hey, there's some extra money available, what can be killed now?" Much better than my usual impulse, which was, "What can I buy now?" ;-p

Also feels great when the monthly budget shows X amount more available for other things (like further debt reduction) because you get to knock off a mandatory line item.

I suppose five years of working in a budget shop finally rubbed off on me. ;-)

Changes

Shaved off the chin fuzz last night. Was a tad tired of maintaining it, so killed it for a bit. Will likely return later, but for the moment, am smooth again.

Also, while out and about on various errands today, I changed out the rings in my nipples for barbells. The hope is that they'll be less likely to get irritated by stuff.

That's all. :-)
