I am going to start filtering some of my more private musings. Since blogger does not have a tool for that, you will need to visit my Live Journal and ask to be friended there. I will continue to post Daily Gratitude and other subjects here. There is also a FAQ for my Journal at the same link.
oops -- money --- progress
| Wednesday, December 17, 2003 @ 07:23 I guess it's hard to be diligent about posting when you oversleep in the morning and then spend the evening shopping. Monday I had another financial surprise of the pleasant sort. Now, I don't look at my car payment until I'm actually making out the check. I know how much the bill is and it's budgeted each month. When I sat down and opened the bill, the first thing I noticed was that it was $90 more than usual. Worried, I quickly scanned for some reason until I found it: this was the final payment. Earlier this year I had checked into how much was left to pay it off, but it was still a considerable amount, so I put it in the back of my mind. With all the injuries and stress we've had this fall, I barely registered in my mind that it's been three years since I bought the car (right before moving to AZ). 3 years plus the one month they let me skip a payment as a bonus equates to December 2003. So, once they receive my check and process it, the car is totally mine. I've never purchased anything so expensive in my life. --and now we'll have money each month to pay off other bills faster and deal with the morass that is my student loan debt. With a number of other factors it looks like 2004 might be a much better monetary one for us. As for our M/s life -- I am hitting serious resistence in myself toward implementing changes. I have wanted these changes for a long time, but something is always coming up --mostly in the form of physical and mental health issues. Maybe I'm just afraid that I'm not ready for the responsibilities associated with the changes. Maybe I'm worried about the physical and psychological demands of implementing stricter protocols and rituals. What I do know is that it's hard to find the time to sit down and work through whatever these issues are so that I can resolve them. I'm too busy maintaining treatment of my feet, shopping/planning for the trip, and dealing with daily life to devote time to deep thinking....but I realize that I need to make that a priority in the next few days, both for myself and for the health of our relationship.
