Because The Universe Works in Sideways Ways.
I'm getting down towards the bottom of the barrel again, financially. Apparently I still owe Mills about 2k for Undergrad, and if I go on to Grad school there's going to be payments for that as well. I still need to replace the spare tire on the Vanicat and at this point, it'd just make more sense to get a whole new set of tires and take the least worn of the current set for the new spare. The Vanicat herself needs brakes and a front headlight and at least an oil change plus new wiper blades. Mal needs a vet visit and knowing the way he messes his crate when he's put into it, the vet would have to come here which means I'd have to clean up - a lot. It's not gross, but it is neglected. I know the difference.
So I've got all this stuff that needs doing and just barely enough $$$ left to cover all of July's expenses and I've been stressing about how to make my 1500.00 monthly payment from my niece and her husband cover my 3500.00 monthly expenses when this last windfall runs out. I've been working the "Thing And Grow Rich" statement for not quite a week now: writing out the statement, saying it out loud first thing in the morning and last thing at night, and working on the treatment for my story, just as I say I will in the Statement. The first link is up at Linked In and at Mastadon. I'm working it and am simultaneously starting to get more and more anxious about what August is going to look like and if I'll be able to start Grad School. Like all day every day low grade anxiety again, like I was experiencing in January before Vala did the Go Fund Me for me. Trying to run out my grocery supply so I have less stuff to pack in my car, trying to decide what little things to take and what to leave behind, how to get Mal into his hated crate and how to arrange food water and litter box for him in the car since I'd be living out of it come August...
My brother just called. My niece and her husband want to sell the Caminito Corriente house, which means I'd get 200k from them when it sells. Could be 60 days, could be longer, could be shorter. The market's pretty hot out there right now.
I'm not going to depend on this thing happening and I am going to continue to work the Think And Grow Rich statement and writing as promised, but... I'm not completely up the creek. Like Sara Crewe said, "The Magic won't let the worst things happen". My anxiety has ramped down from 8 out of 10 to 7.
Thank you, Universe.
