You open this box, and it is another scroll, but on this is a list:
- Fix baseboards in the basement
- Fix the hole in the ceiling
- Put a gate in the back fence
- Repaint bedroom
- Replace windows
- …..
It’s a list of home repair projects around the house that need to be done. That is another part of Financial Planning for next year, that is for sure. If the project is a large cash outlay (say, like Windows), you had a better budget the money correctly, or you won’t get that project even started, let alone finished.
For those interested, yes, that is a partial list of home repair things I need to get done around the “Big Cajun Crab Shack.”

I’m starting to think “cautiously optimistic”, when translated for us common people, means “run for the hills!”
Absolutely! Sit back and let the blades do the work for you (they say that to the chickens just before they put them into the abertoire)
