Victory Is Mine!

I FINALLY got my checkbook to balance. It’s been out of balance ever since I was in Europe last year and I couldn’t find the error anywhere. I balance my checkbook every month, down to the last penny, so this has been making me vaguely nauseous for ages now. I still couldn’t tell you exactly what the problem was—there were a handful of minor math or recording errors and two or three checks that never cleared the bank, presumably lost in the mail or something, but nothing that should account for the crazy discrepancies I kept finding—but it balances perfectly.

There’s not nearly enough money in the account, but it balances.
