Dead day today. I think half the country is taking today as an unofficial day before the real unofficial day tomorrow before the real official, if not a workday, day on Saturday. I am using the relative peace and quiet to post my income and expense figures for the first six months. I am doing this in front of the telly with third-season Dexter episodes running; the current conversion rate is two months per episode.

The current relative humidity is about 800 percent and we're getting a whirlpool cloud that dumps a metric ton of rain on us roughly every four hours. This is supposed to clear by tomorrow.

Tomorrow noon is the deadline for pre-ordering the new Girlyman album. Comment if you need the info on that.

Back to income and Dex-penses.
