All right, it hasn't been that great of a day. But one good thing occurs today.

Because my income fluctuates so much, we never know when I am going to get paid, or even how much. I can estimate, but it's still iffy. So what we decided to do to make DH feel better, is each month I will deposit all the money I make into the joint account until there is enough money to pay next month's bills. After that, anything I bring in goes into my account to pay off our credit cards. I didn't expect to hit it this month, because January's usually pretty slow, and because I had to make up for a lot of hours I missed in December. But I hit it today, which means that everything I make for the next 12 days will pay down debts. Yay!
