Update
After a decent dose of panic and crying and whatnot I managed to sort out a financial clusterfuck this morning. Really I could have done it without the hysterics, but sometimes that just how I roll. We went out for, what we thought at the time was reasonably priced and delicious Thai food, the other night. We then ended up getting charged 120 dollars for dinner instead of forty via having our debit card charged three times. This led to other transactions bouncing like silly putty left and right and for once it wasn't even my fault. Oh the stress. But with a couple of well timed phone calls I was able to get the whole mess straightened out with a positive bank balance at the end.
Our washing machine is irretrievably broken. I even paid a man fifty dollars last week to tell me so. So in the interim we are back to using the coin op machines in building four which is a pain in the ass but will work in the short term. Fortunately tax refund season is upon us and we will be purchasing some rather fantastically expensive front loaders when our monies arrive. Not exactly what I had planned for the refund, but I am sure glad that it happened this time of year or we would be shit out of luck. I love being a homeowner most of the time, but this is definitely not one of the good things about it.
I have four new pairs of spiffy colorful tights arriving in the mail any day now. Hooray! I would really like to buy some new clothes right now, but am considering holding off since I am embarking on a new exercise and diet regime and if it works I don't really want to be stuck with a bunch of brand new too big clothing. I have been doing pretty well eating wise this week and I took a forty minute brisk walk this morning. The harder part will be maintaining it. It is so easy to start something like this. It is harder to keep it up in the long run. I am trying really hard to just stay present and meet each choice rationally as it comes. As of now I have high hopes.
