My Evening Job


Today I work my morning job and then the library from 1 until 5. I work at Cannon Financial Institute in the morning answering phones and whatever else needs to be done. Afternoons, evenings and weekends; I work at the Athens-Clarke County Library.

The library job is my dream job. Working there is so rewarding. Watching adults getting excited about books and reading is my favorite thing. The schoolchildren I used to work with would sometimes be interested in reading and books; but not often enough to suit me. But at the ACC people come in looking for certain things and it is gratifying to help them find them.

Once again, life is good.

Soon I will write about my cat house!

Refinancing the House


Life is full of surprises. We never know what is coming around the bend.

Yesterday we went to the bank to refinance our house that we could not sell in Griffin. The week we put it on the market 2 years ago the bottom fell out in the real estate world. Now we have it rented for a fraction of the house payment. The renter is very reliable so that makes the lower payment OK. As we talked to the banker we looked at our credit history. Sobering stuff! It shows how many mortgages we have had; how many loans and credit cards have been paid off, etc.

The bottom line is that we were able to cut out house payment down! YEA!!!

This will let us use some of my salaries to pay down other bills and possibly get another car.

Life is good!
