I remembered to send an invoice. I had done some work for a company in the spring, and I remembered here at the end of the year that I had never sent them an invoice. And it was a $500 job! I would have been upset with myself if I had not remembered to submit it.

This week, I am thankful: for giggles over our doorbell. This week, Lisey realized that our vintage doorbell can play something like 25 different tunes. She got up on a chair and was running through them all the other night, and the way she was doing it was so funny.
