I have a spreadsheet of savings goals. As I've just started saving for most of my goals many of them are just past the 10% mark. I had a specialty tea with some shortbread in the posh part of the city with a friend to commemorate my 10% milestone of funding my Osaka trip.

Our water consumption is up. I wonder how much of that is due to someone being home full-time, or from the garden setup. I set aside the greywater/re-use/cistern plan as I don't even know what's legal right now, and renters/buyers would care more about the garage door than "am I being sustainable?" Also, thanks to our wet and miserable winter and first half of the spring it looks like we won't have a water drought this summer.

A good friend commented that I had lost weight. It must be more than five pounds I've lost, as my friend is a straight male. He's known me since I was really thin. I hung out with my straight male friend today as my spouse is gaming at a tournament. At least my in-laws remembered and sent flowers today. I sent flowers to my stepmother, and my kid has actually been well-behaved today, as I greased my social gears and took some exercise.

I've decided that this year my charitable donations are to be divided between helping families living with cancer and families living with hunger. Go with what you know, right?

Apportioned $150 to the Save Yourself Account. I owe myself about $750 more to my Roth IRA judging from my pay advice. 10% of gross pay to retirement. Actually it should be 13% according to my spreadsheet, but I don't want to be in debt for the bathroom remodel. Because I know the minute I dip into my emergency fund for some non-emergency, an emergency requiring more than the full amount I had stored will happen.

I am also four mortgage payments away from being one-third through the principal paid on my home. The sad fact is that by then I'll be almost 40% through the term.

All these little drip-drip-drips.
