Collected Thoughts

I've messed up my money this month. Just a little. I think I'll be okay though.

I spent more than I should because -- oh! I need this! and oh! Look at that! Plus I ate out which I said I wasn't going to do AT ALL. Damn, I still have library fines to pay off...

Anyway. I looked at what I have after my insurane (health) has been taken out and I have roughly $70. I get paid next week and I need gas. Obviously, I can make it to next week -- I've got enough food and if I fill my tank I won't have a gas issue.

However, my next pay check is going to be 12 hrs short. 8 because of Memorial Day. And then 4 when I left early. I'll have to pay rent and car insurance out of that and then make it until the end of the month. I'll get paid the 17th and then again on the 1st

Although I realized that, if I don't send my rent check in the mail until Thursday I should be okay. Because I get paid on Thursday (direct deposit) and it will take a bit for my land lady to deposit the check so I'll be cool. I mean I'll still have my phone bill and my cable bill (whcih this month was $.15) And my credit card payment, but I think it will all work out.

Next month I'll get a better idea of what my bills are going to be, I'm just not sure right now since I paid deposits, etc. Plus for the next few months my phone bill will be higher becuase of fees for transfering my line and the DSL fees.

God, I hope my utility bill isn't high. I've tried to be really good with running water and doing laundry and keeping the thermostat up high. It kept running last night and now I'm wondering if I had windows left open or something -- I'll have to check when I get home. I feel like my a/c runs alot but 73F is the lowest I've kept it recently. That sounds kind of high, bu the house stays amazingly cool and it hasn't been a problem.


I also realized I wasted $20 this month due to drinks from the machine and snacks at work. That has to be cut out ASAP.
