I don’t even know what merchant cash advance is. From what I know of cash advances, you’re usually better off avoiding them if possible.

Anyway, I really don’t have much to say on the subject today, as I’m at the end of my work schedule, and I’m anxious to move on to other things. Looks like I need to get another loaf of bread in the works, and think about getting dinner going as well.

Sometimes I feel like our neighbors are our little home security family. Everyone is so nosy, that no one would ever be able to get away with crime here. This would probably bother most people, but I know that everyone means well, and that it helps us stay safe. Over the years my husband and I have gotten used to their meddling, and just ignore them. There is Mrs. Peters next door, who looks out her living room window all day to see who is coming and going. She always knows when we have guests over, and likes to hear all about it the next day. She’ll sometimes even come over and knock on the door, and ask me point blank why I had people over. Then there is Mr. Gray across the street. He is retired and is always outside gardening and walking his dog. He always lets us know the good gossip around the neighborhood since he is so friendly with everyone. We may eventually decide to get a real home alarm system, but we feel like our two nosy neighbors are enough of a theft deterrent. Who would be stupid enough to go up against those two busy bodies?

At some point I’d like the girls to be able to get guitar lessons, or piano lessons, or whatever it is that they want. Last I heard I think Des actually wants to learn to play the flute, and I hope that I can make that happen for her.

More importantly for me, is for them to be able to continue with their sports. The Rec Center is great, but they stop offering sports for middle and high schoolers, so I have to find a way for the girls to be allowed to participate in the school sports. I’m hoping that our nearby town will allow it, but I guess we’ll have to wait and see for sure.
