I Tried

November 21st, 2006 at 02:42 pm

Well I tried as hard as I could to not go into my savings account and transfer money into the checking account.....but I have to today. I am not sure why I feel so guilty or why I am berating myself. I had some emergency expenses in my mind. A car repair bill that slammed me and a cook top purchase. I mean it threw me over the top. I have to pay the guy to install the thing so I am really really not going to make it.

On the other hand that is what the savings account is all about---- emergencies. What is an emergency? When I think if emergency I think of life threatening.
I guess it is life threatening as I do not want to bounce a check or put something more on the visa.

Yes my cooktop is still not in and not much word from the guy doing it. I will make a blanket statement in saying most folks in construction seem to be laxed in returning phone calls. I remember setting up to do some cement work. I got the guy hired and ready to go. He and I discussed it all on my patio. Then he never showed up and I never heard boo from him. Thankfully I never paid him a deposit. I always thought how strange?

Well.. I broke down and bought the DVD CARS. I liked it and the kids liked it. I decided to get it to watch over Thanksgiving with my dad who is a Nascar fan. I think my nephews will like too.
I had a hard time finding it. I found it at Walgreens. They had on hold for someone who never came in for it....so I got it.It was the last copy in the store.

Bought all the things I need to take to my mom's as far as food and fixins. I was at the store pretty early as I was worried it would be crowded later.

I am looking forward to getting my surgery. I am so very ready mentally.
I just want to get going. I think I am going to put up the tree on Saturday as I want to be done with some of these jobs NOW....so I can cross them off my list. Again....my mind is really starting to bend towards the surgery and thinking about that mostly.

It keeps bending towards money things too....this is when I miss being married. It is a large burden at times by myself. But then I am so darn "private" I don't share with anyone else. So it is my own fault in a way.

I will be seeing my investment planner on Friday. He lives near my parents so he has agreed to meet me on Friday to go over my portfolio. I felt a little bad doing it when it is a hoilday but it seemed easier. He agreed so I will see what he has to say and offer. So far I am pleased. Things seem to be growing slowly and steadily. This the money I will need in the future to live off of.
I really need to think about a job in 2007. That job has to wait. First is surgery, recovery and Christmas then getting crazy in January and trying to not spend much for a bit. Hopefully as I get thinner,I will be more apt to get hired somewhere for any job I can get my hands on that still allows me to stay flexible.

Hope you all get lots done today!

    When unexpected expenses pop up and I find myself dipping into my cash stash, I try to make a real effort to be thankful that I had the money to dip into instead of feeling bad about dipping into it. It's too easy to get caught up in debt, so when I have the cash to cover the expense--I'm grateful, or at least try to be. It helps Smile.
