One third of the way through the box...

of bookkeeping for Cari's restaurant - finally! That means I've finished 2006 and my goal is to finish 2007 by Sunday. We'll see how that goes... I spent all day yesterday correcting a mess - work that I paid someone else to do last fall for one of my other clients. It really is true after all: if you want something done right, do it yourself. So after about six hours of re-doing all of the 2008 bookkeeping, I saved the file and went home. In the middle of the night, I had a terrible thought - what if it didn't save properly? So this morning, when I opened the file, my worst fears were realized; the file had saved from the point where I deleted the errors - and saved absolutely nothing of the hours of work I did to fix the mess. Needless to say, I've been hard at work on the same thing I did yesterday. Talk about deja vu!

I read The Time Traveler's Wife - and honestly, I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the time / space paradox of the whole thing. I think I just need to suspend disbelief and all rational scientific thought - it's more a love story than a treatise on time travel. Einstein would have said, "Bah!" and thrown the thing down in disgust. I can't say too much without giving away the plot, such as it is, but I am tempted to go through the book again and make myself a timeline. Hopefully the movie is better - and easier to follow - than the book.
