Dusted

[guywithmonsters]

I am a little out of sorts today.  Not sure why but it started last night.  I need a little fun but I can't really do much as I have to be in manhattan tonight to help my sister, Jaime.  She's auditioning for a walk on spot on her favorite soap opera. I'm going to hang with my niece, Mackenzie, while she has the interview.  I'm moral support as well, I'm sure.

I'm starting to hate school.  Well, not really hate but resent it.  I just want to start working and get on with my life already.  The sudden crushing budget constraints are helping darken my mood, I think.  The truth is I can't really afford to go to manhattan tonight.  Or, rather, I can afford that but nothing else all week.  It's not like I want for anything really, it's just annoying to spend what little money I have for this week to do something I don't really want to do.

It'll be cool to hang with Jaime and Mackenzie though.

In lieu of the beach, I'm going to take my book out back for a while.  This weather is perfect and the first floor is totally neatened, dusted and vacuumed so I'm guilt free. :-)

When I got my last job, I had to take a 40% pay cut. Then in a few years, I learned to live without money.

Then when the money got better, I felt totally rich, and I learned to live happily without spending!

(ok.. I still go broke on food.. but what can you do...)

I've been really poor before - this is just a temporary shortage. It just sucks because I was so accustomed to just buying what I needed without thinking about it too much. Mostly it's stuff for the house, which I could get money from Mr Bear for but I'm still too weirded out about asking him for money to do it (which is stupid because he doesn't care).

When I look at what I spend I don't spend a lot on things for me or doing things. It's all stuff for the house/yard/etc.

Thanks for the good thoughts. :-)

Well then what you should do is to have "house allowances" so every month he puts money in a box and you just take it from the box. That way you don't have to ask, and every purchase isn't such a big deal!

Good idea.
