When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Way to go, msbelle!

Nice progress, msbelle. I am super unorganized with that stuff. No doubt my sloppy practices have cost me a small fortune over the years.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Same here, but it's mostly over decisions I had good emotional reasons for making even if they didn't pan out fiscally, like the move to Memphis, getting a nice apartment when I moved back instead of a hovel I could pay debt down from quickly, and being more comfortable with paying interest than letting emergency savings dip too low.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Well I've been highly unorganized at time, but that has resulted in the very large credit card debt I find myself in. It's like a weight on me. At least now I know I have some cards with space on them if I hit an emergency.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I couldn't figure out why I'm falling asleep at my desk when I went to bed at a reasonable hour, but then I remembered -- I woke up at an unreasonable hour! zzzzzzzzzzzz

Laura I just want to give you and Brandon each a big hug.

I'm currently flying to Orlando so that I can attend a memorial tomorrow morning, then I fly home tomorrow evening.

Brendon is on his way to Orlando for a basketball tournament this weekend! I didn't go with him. I'm sorry your trip is for a memorial. If you find you have any time give him a shout because he no doubt would love to have a drink with you.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I finished my third work week! This feels like my first full weekend, because I was too exhausted to enjoy the first one, and the second one was my cousin's memorial service trip, so that was not a normal weekend, either.

It doesn't look like I'm making enough money to live off of from the job, though -- with all the taxes et al taken out. When I can go on the job health insurance (which will be less of a bite than my Obamacare paid-by-me plan) that will ease up a bit.

I'm so sorry, Laura. That must be so hard.

I did get up early enough to take the dog for a run in the woods, and met the shade-installers. Now I have 3/4 of my new shades, but there was a typo on the orders and the shade to go over the kitchen sink is 70" wide instead of 40" wide. Woops. Still, the ones they installed look very nice.

It's a busy social weekend: I should get off the couch and go buy fruit for a fruit salad tomorrow...

From my brief visit to my son he apparently got the message that his living conditions were unacceptable. He has messaged me a bunch of times and says he is cleaning the place completely. He knows how upset I am and seems to be working on getting back on good terms with me.
