I am uncertain if it's to be called progress but it's the only word I have for it at the moment.
As I have today off I sit in front of my computer and wonder about all the many decisions I have to make.
Some are significant, some might seem significant and really be trivial and some are just to take up space.
I will be moving out of here at the end of June and into another place on July 1st, hopefully. The stresses that come into play here are how will I pay for that month of living myself? Katy will still be at Linda's and probably unable to pay for it. We have looked at a few apartments so far but haven't liked anything as much as just staying here so far. I would like to at least see 6-8 more and compare what you get for your money. I'm looking forward to being out of here but I just don't know where I'll be yet and would like to nail that down.
How do I figure rent out? When does that stimulus check come again? Soon, I hope, though what do I do with it. Put it to where I owe big money for a certain circular and sparkling object? Do I put it towards honeymoon expenses? Do I use it for that first months rent? Do I further pay down credit card debt? Shouldn't it be here already? Not that I know what to do with it.
I believe we've picked out a harpist for our wedding. Details to come. We're still talking with Sid about a pastor. Hopefully one comes soon or stress city will be back.
I need a job and bad. I don't have as much time to look because I'm back to working 5 days most weeks now. I need some good old fashioned training on resumes and interviewing again. I need to sell myself better, though I don't like sales. I'm an asset and I wish people knew that. I wish I could articulate that better with people.
Do I try an entry level with a TV station and just do it? Do I keep after a marketing/advertising job? Do I take a loan and go to the U of M for grad school? What if that TV station is just part time at first? Then what?
I want to read more. Make your kids read. I didn't read enough as I wish I had. Don't make your kids read so much that they're losers. Just make it into a healthy habit. No good games on? Nothing good on the Tivo? Then read! I always think about reading and writing more but I don't ever execute on it. The internet doesn't care who's time it wastes. (Sort of a Lance-ism, I believe he said "the internet doesn't care who's life it ruins.")
Did you see that story about the ladies softball game where a girl hit a game winning home run, the first of her career and about a .150 hitter? She hit the game winning home run but missed first, and as she went back to touch first she blew her ACL. Sort of pathetic but she couldn't run around the bases any more so two girls on the other team carried her around the bases to ensure the home run and the win. Here's the story.
There's more in this ol' noggin but I think I have to get a couple apartment looks set up and get back to the job search.
Have a good May 1st!

Did you talk to Colleen about her apartment? It's in a cool area and isn't that expensive. I asked her. Also when you think about debt you should start paying what you owe the least on. Once that is paid off you can use the $100 dollars to pay off the next debt. ALso consider where interest is building. And if you have a credit card and can't pay if off every month don't spend money on it. Or be a lot more careful. Credit card debt is not good. :) I agree you are an asset and if you are interested in a taking a resume/interview course why don't you hire the life coach. I have a personal connection to one and I'm sure if would be helpful! It would be totally geared toward what YOU want and how to sell YOURSELF! :)

Oh dear.Life...well I don't know what to tell ya. But I agree with Em about paying off the little debts first and don't use the credit card. Stop buying clothes for yourself or others, even if it is a bargain! :)
Just FYI...I'm not in a financial crisis...I was just wondering what I should do with my stimulus...since I may need it for an apartment...I could use it to pay off two charges that have a little on it...should I send it to Dad...save it and have it earn .02% interest.
