Catch-up of opportunity

Sep 04, 2012 00:20

In some ways, it's nice to be home. I know where things are, for one. I'm not being pounced on by cats at 5AM. I have LJ, at least for now ( Read more... )

food stamps, bills, money, gk, oh shit

you do know you're supposed to take the tuna out of the can before you eat it, right? (just joking sweetie!)

Just renewed ours and it was over $200. Ouch!! Got driver's license a few weeks ago~ what a fiasco! It's like standing in line for a concert. Took up a good 2 hour chunk of time. No more appointments.

Wish you could have done the dog sitting gig for us~ it would have paid handsomely.

I'm sorry too---not just about the money. That poor dog.

I've heard horror stories about the DL renewal process. I'm not looking forward to it, but I look forward to having it DONE.

It wasn't the cost of the driver's license renewal but the time~ hints: get there early~ they don't open until 8:30 but I was there at 8 am. You get in line by the door~ then, when they weed out the driving test folks, you get ushered in and get a number.From there on, it's extremely efficient.

I'm not worried about the waiting---I have a lot more time than money, and I can take a book. The money, though---THAT'S a problem.

I honestly think it was the chicken, although I'm sure the agita didn't help. But hey, at least I don't have a shit-stupid ex-huspand to contend with!

Yeah. I understand the general idea behind that saying that if money will solve a problem, it's not really a problem. Because money alone won't buy health or happiness, it won't cure addiction or erase past traumas. But NOT having money is a problem in and or itself, and finding honest ways to pay the bills can be a real challenge....
