Hi Friends, Rough day for me. I have been working on a budget to accommodate this drastic income change. I barely slept last night, kept waking up remembering things that I just took for granted and paid or bought without really thinking about it. So I decided I need to set up a budget to take a deeper look at how the finances are going to divide up on this part time job situation. I am so exhausted. Only a couple of hours sleep in the last two days. it's a wonder I can think at all! I paid bills this moring and by the time I did that and during that process or course, I had to re-route the schedule that I had already set up I started to shake with nerves. Much too much in one day for me to handle. I am usually pretty tough but this one has thrown me. Tighten the belt and batten down the hatches! It's a good thing that I am frugal, and I know that I have no trouble conserving, my problems lie with two members of this family who care not about anything but what they want and want it right now. I am going to have to hide the checkbook and credit cards in the safe and keep the key in a very safe place. As usual I will worry because of the history of what I have already gone through since I've been here. This is not really a good ti to be losing this weight, I already don't have clothes to wear and now I cannot even order any. I am like that I will not buy anything unless it's a dire emergency. I would rather hide any extra penny while he is doing this part time thing so in case anything else happens I have a fall back. Gosh, this entire year started out rough, with the fire hitting me January 13th, and it's gone progressively downhill from there. Nothing like a bit of bad luck to flavor your life, eh! I will survive, a bit depressed, well, a bit more depressed but I will make it. I promise in a couple of days I'll be back up, good as new. Thanks for sticking by me. Love, Summer |
