So, here’s how things are going, cliff note’s version.
Things are not going well in certain ways while going well in others.
I’ve been spending a lot of time packing things up and I’ve been managing to save us a good bit on deposits and activaton fees thanks to the fact that I have good credit. Our debt has gone up quite a bit in the past month though thanks to getting my husband’s car. We’re now $6-7000 in debt, not counting the student loan which hovers there like a lead balloon in Forbearance Land.
We’ve agreed though that once we get moved we’re going to be working solidly to get that debt down. We’ll easily be able to pay off my car, and once that is paid off will start paying on the student loans again, all the while working to pay off the credit cards.
Yule is normally a big time where money was racked up on those, so hopefully this year given we should have my car paid off before Yule we can not put so much on the cards.
The other reason for my net absence is family related. I will not get in to too many personal details or conversation rehashes but I’ve been spending a lot of time with my Mum over the weekend because on Father’s Day her husband left to go to another state for a trip, which he was trying to say was just to “get his head together” but considering evidence found and things which have come out since was in fact to cheat on her with another woman.
Perhaps needless to say myself and my husband would be extremely angry about this, to say nothing of the betrayal to my mother. Her husband’s children, my step-siblings are equally angry about this and rallying behind my mother to help her in anyway they can. For which we continue to feel very blessed.
This weekend saw Him crawling back into town, with all other manner of horrid behavior which just cements the fact that he cares for no one other than himself and needs serious psychiatric help.
So, that big mess combined with the fact that we’re trying to pack and trying to get things together to go sign the lease this week mean that stress levels are through the roof and if I do get on the computer it’s to spend my time doing something mindless like playing Fingerjig 1.7 million ^_^ high score so far.
And before I forget again thanks so much to Kat for sending me those CDs. I’ve actually been getting to listen to them this morning.
