What did you accomplish today?

Went to work
Exercised (i.e. swept and mopped whole front end, dusted all PCs, cleaned all counters and shelving underneath)
Came home and ate lunch (tortilla with russian on it, with sunflower seeds, albacore tuna, baby lettuce, minced onions and Mrs. Dash Garlic&Herb)
Cleaned ice and snow off Bard's car
Salted the driveway

Federal taxes got deposited in my bank today, so I:
Filled up the truck completely
Paid off my credit card in full ($480

) WOOHOO!
Put some into my savings to make it an even number (seriously! I hate odd numbers!)
Doubled my monthly payment to another bill

I have about $70 left, and that may find itself in my savings too since the truck is filled and I just saved myself from paying $50/month since my credit card is now paid off.

I feel very accomplished! Hopefully my credit score thanks me for paying off my credit card. I am even debating calling and lowering it to half of that. Part of my mind keeps telling me to keep my limit where it's at because maybe I might need it as an "emergency fund" - which is quite possible! and because creditors in future may see asking for a lowered credit limit as a weakness, like I don't have enough control to not spend it all? Hmm. Food for thought!
