Oh jeez, Dana.

Oh jeez, msbelle.

I totaled my mother's car in high school, technically, but I think they still repaired it.

Flight, scheduled for 8:05, already delayed to 8:55. Doesn't matter, we're getting on the damn airport shuttle in 20 minutes (airport is an hour plus away).

I have successfully done a video appointment with my, shoot what is her title? My medication/prescription wrangler. Connection was not great, the wifi signal was not super strong, but nice not to have to drive all the way up there for a 15 minute cisit. Of course, now I have to drive all the way up there to pick up my refills, but it's a 24 hour pharmacy so maybe I can squeeze it in tonight after rehearsal (which is after my haircut. I got more than a little overscheduled today...and there's a yoga class tonight I kinda wanted to try to get to but that is TOO MUCH SELF STOP IT)

On the way to the airport!

Because I cannot say it anywhere else, I hate property tax time!!! I have had to borrow money from my parents. As it is I'll be holding my breathe on my bank balance. I have actual cash in an account that I cannot get into my bank in time for this payment. If nothing unexpected hits I'll be fine.

It should be noted that I am financially irresponsible which is why I am in this place. See post yesterday of $30 spent on unnecessary things. I might take things back tomorrow. I've put taxes on my credit card the last 2 years which is part of my thousands of $$ in debt ongoing issue. The parents know nothing of that.

You are not alone. I am completely financially irresponsible. Always have been. That was why I was so impressed with the kids holding off on buying the house because they wanted to build up their savings. I was like, savings, what that?

The worst part is the tons of money being irresponsible has cost me. Yet, still not really changing my ways.

That said, msbelle, I think you are doing an incredible job. I can't even imagine trying to navigate it all without the support of DH and my family. It ain't easy for the 99.8%.

Add me to the financially irresponsible bench. I see-saw between being responsible and not, but I've made enough big mistakes that I'm still paying for them.

The last few days I've been pretty dang lazy...enjoying vacation with zero agenda. My body was finally not hurting and I was beginning to think that my aches and pains were more mental than anything. Then I went out for a big grocery shop trip. My foot hurts and my back hurts. I'm on the couch with a heating pad and an alcoholic drink. As CJ put it "Mom, there is a reason you are having surgery in Feb". Yeah. There is.

Home again, home again. My apartment is COLD!

This has been a very long day and I am tired.

I have my mortgage holder pay my property taxes for me, which works out pretty well except my monthly escrow payment keeps going up. Sucks. I used to be very financially responsible but nsm lately. I am trying to turn over a new leaf and get back to my penny pinching ways, we'll see how that goes.
