Well, it's official.
I don't have enough money.
Even with Paul's monthly donations, I don't have enough money.
I will have enough money for my tuition and my mortgage payment. (Once Paul puts in his bunch).
However, that will leave me with... $50 in my bank account.
Fifty dollars.
Which means that I *can't* even buy a bus-pass. Not even those blasted one-month-only passes.
Fifty dollars means that I can't pay the hydro bill when it comes in. Nor can I pay the Visa (cable/internet) or Mastercard (everything else, including groceries) bills.
I just payed the phone bill, so that's okay, but there will be another one in September.
All in all, I'm not a little bit worried about this.
But.
On the plus side, I will still be working after I've emptied my bank-account down to the dregs, so all is not completely lost, and I could, in theory, awste $10 on a few days worth of bus-tickets in order to get me to my next pay-check.
Also, there is a better chance for a TA-ship that I thought. (Thank goodness!) So all may not be lost.
Also, I have a big squash, a sweet potato, a (very tiny) turnip, and two potatoes in my fridge. Plus beans and cukes still in the garden.
So we have *some* produce. (Plus, *hey*, I can always pick plantain and purselaine and sow thistle leaves from along the road-side, and make steamed greens. So it's not a total loss. ;-)
We also have food in the freezer, and lots of dried beans and grains, plus flour and other baking stuff.
So it's not like we're going to starve. (We'll just be doing things rather vegan-style while we can't get milk, yoghurt, and eggs).
Anyway. Still somewhat freaked-out, but I'm hoping things turn out okay.
Also, I'm having second thoughts about my wedding china.
Again.
I mean, I'm still thinking "I really like that stuff", but I'm also dealing with the part of me that's afraid that I'll take out my wedding china when I'm eighty and think "What was I thinking? Why did I get something only suitable for a twenty-year-old?" -- Which wouldn't be a problem except that, if I'm worried about this happening *then*, then I'm clearly thinking it *now*. At least a little bit.
Damnit! Why can't I just go to the people in the Bay and say "this is the price-range I have in mind, and this is the type of pattern I want. Find it, or make it, and start carrying it." and then have them actually *do* that. Then I'd get exactly what I want (a nice combination of dramatic and classy with the added bonus of being totally dish-washer safe) in a price-range my family and friends can actually afford, and it would be unique. :-)
Anywhoo. Thanks for listening to me spaz.
Time to get ready for work, now. :-)
