Yesterday in church I was day dreaming of how we can organize my beloved’s office. A new book shelf, perhaps a chair with a lamp and table in the corner for him to hide away to. I was thinking about shelving in the coat closet for suitcases and maybe even now is the time to go after the wall street journal subscription. I came into work this morning with the plan to spend some money today.
I started with spending my lunch trying to get scrap book pages worked out from the Myrtle Beach trip. Beloved and I had a quick back and forth email on paying a bill. I told him don’t worry about a, b, and c I have them just take care of d. I figured it was time to work out money monday. Last week I squared away most of the utilities and I was fairly up to date on expenditures. I updated what I spent since last monday and then verified that nothing had happened that I didn’t expect.
Then I started figuring out what was left. Mortgage payment made, rest of utilities taken care of, rental property insurance paid. Then discovered that the dsl at home is off. That is supposed to be a company expense but as the company isn’t making any money it became my problem. I tried to squeak out at least part of it’s payments. I noticed money started to run out. I still have the pool closing this weekend and I am not really sure how much that will cost. I am reserving about $400 for that. I really hope it covers because honestly I don’t have much else. I am truly tired of trying to make a dime spread to a quarter. I need to remember to be grateful for the dime.
Needless to say lesson learned once again. Don’t shop until you have paid bills. What you think you have and what you actually have when you are done could vary.
