It’s been a long year. Tomorrow’s the beginning of my vacation though, and that helps a lot.
I managed to get my broken tooth repaired this week – second one in what, the last two months?
I’ve discovered the joys of the ‘Edge’ plan with Rogers .. you can turn in your phone anytime — if you’re switching to another contract. Looking to just be done with it? You can’t even give the phone back until the last 30 days, even if you offer to pay everything you’ll owe upfront. Two different phones, bought a month apart. That will take some time next year to sort out.
Mortgage season comes next year, we’re up for renewal, and rates are .. less than optimal really. Going to have to crunch the numbers, and get the right combination (and from the right broker). RBC is wooing us, and I have a mind to see if we can’t get a shorter term – less than 12 years) to maybe get this paid off by age 60.
Also a lot of home improvements coming – for example I’ve had an eye on our garage door since we moved in a decade ago, and this year I want to replace it. Our bathroom counters were a fail, and it just shows I should’ve gone with my gut and cancelled them, even if there was a penalty. Now we’ll need to do them again, this time in stone.
Windows as well, not all of them, but enough that it’ll probably pinch a bit. I’m not sure if we’ll manage them this year.. but we’ll see.
Everything’s in the new year though, for now there’s a solid week where there aren’t any big items looming. I intend to enjoy it.
Merry Christmas.
