Somewhat of a bummer, brokish but...

I'm not in the mood to do laundry. I am barely in the mood to do the garbage. I shouldn't be all cranky, right? After all, I had a wicked cool weekend with hakamadare on Saturday and and the really cewlle kestrell on Sunday. So, I should be happy, right? I have a cool job, money in the bank, and all the goods. Right?

Well, sorta. See, my last Comcast check and my latest IBM check both arrived as live checks. My credit union takes four business days to consider the check valid cash. The online statement taunts me by saying "total funds" versus "available funds" with this giant, frightening gap between them. As a result of some shiteful planning, I have to wait a week to clear up some old bills.

No, this isn't real scariness. It's not even interesting. None of them are due this week. I just wanted to get free of both credit cards and do it this week. I guess I'll just have to wait. In fact, just writing about it is making me feel less insecure. It seems a little silly.

Yeah, so I have this goal of getting rid of all my debts (both credit cards and my car note) cleared up by June. This may sound optimistic, but that's actually the slow plan. My car loan was a four-year loan that finishes in the middle of June. Since that bill gets deducted each week automatically, I don't need to think much about it. It simply happens. All I need to do is clear up the remainder of debt from two store cards.

Then again, I must still be assiduous. I did make another purchase that I must pay off in four weeks. This means pacing the payoff of the other two and not being too hasty. This means a little now and the rest soon enough. This also means not forgetting to pay the normal bills (electricity, cel phone and the new cable bill). This should also allow me some toy money for my birthday on the Nineteenth.

I turn thirty. My thought is not spend extra on myself for my birthday but to allow everyone I want to come over, hang out, eat well at a good restaurant, space out luxuriantly. Yeah, that sounds better than a lot of other options. If I'm not getting married before I turn thirty, the least I can do is enjoy being far better off than I was when I turned twenty.

Yeah, scratch feeling sorry. Life is good so long as I'm a little more patient. I feel a lot better. Who wants to hear a person whine about money when it's simply pending, not absent? Night, y'all...

-that's better, Dante

What an excellent attitude to take!

You've come a long way in the last year, I've gotta say. Again, it's both fun and interesting, watching you. I'm looking forward to talking more with you during your massage. :)
