Scrooged
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Because books.
It's a Wonderful Life, Meet Me in St. Louis, the Alistair Sim Christmas Carol, A Christmas Story, and the original animated Charlie Brown Christmas and The Grinch.
Those are my musts every season.

A Miracle on 34th Street, A Charlie Brown Christmas for me, the George C. Scott Christmas Carol for Greg. The kids have no opinion as yet.

OMG you guys. My property tax bill for this year is two thousand dollars more than last year. I'm just sick.

OK, got something accomplished: under 1 minute/lap pace, which I kept up for a continuous 50 laps. Which is awesome, because my pace usually averages just over a minute when I'm not swimming as far. So I feel a little accomplished. Will do litterboxes and clean the sink, give M his shot and make a Target/TJs/new goggles run.
Not a total wasted day. I'd meant to do some clothes shopping...which is how I ended up on the couch all day, I suspect.

Ouch, brenda. Do you have to pay it up front, or is it factored into your mortgage payments ? (mine is, so part of my payment goes into a reserve that the bank pays out.)

It probably means my mortgage payments will go up a couple of hundred dollars. Which, in combination with the fact that my company is switching to a two-week pay schedule instead of bi-monthly, means budgeting next year is going to be a fucking nightmare. I'm going to have to discontinue most of my autopays, which I was already stressing about, but with whatever the adjusted payment will be is going to be way more of a challenge.
I'd almost rather pay it upfront. I suppose I can call them and see if I can do that. Fuck.
