I'm the auditing department in my house. I manage the budget, pay all of the bills, and balance our accounts. I see purchases from clothing stores, dress shops, etc. and I purposely do the accounting without prejudice and with a blind eye.

Due to my health issues, my wife insisted that I go on a bike and parts reduction program so I'm down to one road bike, a tandem, and two high-end trikes. I also sold eight cranksets, a couple sets of wheels, and numerous small parts. I still have a few cranksets that I could unload.
It's actually very refreshing to downsize but it does look awfully bare in my shop at the moment.

The wife audits the household stuff while I audit the business and investment property accounts. Seems fair since it all starts with me and flows down to her.

I have an acquaintance who only buys red bikes. That way when his wife asks is that bike is new, he says no it was just stuck in the shed.

Nothing on the radar but the sky is still leaking. I hope it stops and is dry by 5 am, but I don’t think that is going to happen.

Had no motivation to ride today. Too much work, bad weather, and both of my brothers are spiraling into despair, one now with COVID. Too much to think about. Maybe tomorrow.

So it's contract time here at the place where I am employed for the moment. And it is truely, a **** show. People turning on each other, management abusing it's work force, tons of uncertainty everywhere. I hate this place.
Since the pandemic began I've been coming in an hour earlier and performing calibration/testing on equipment that normally falls on the crews. But in order to isolate everyone, I was told to do it.
One of my Co workers complained that it was unfair that it wasn't an equitable distribution of overtime. So, I am back on 8 hours. Have I mentioned that I hate this place?
They have cut our staff to 50% in an effort to force overtime.
I need 5 years min. To make my pension work. I don't know if I'm going to make it.
