[End Hiatus]
My apologies for the non existent updates… I guess that’s what happens when you really work, such a sad truth. I know you all have eagerly awaited my next fiasco, but fortunately, there’s been no trippings (as of late). The following are a couple updates:
[JDRF]Thank you to all of those who have decided to support the Junior Diabetes Research Foundation (and my day off of work!) I have now reached my goal of raising $100. If you still need to send me a check, please make sure I will receive it no later than October 18, 2005. (If you won’t be able to make that date, please notify me immediately! You can make checks payable to JDRF or Junior Diabetes Research Foundation. If you would still like to donate money to JDRF, please feel free to do so.
[$1.11]Being the check book balance freak I am, I enjoy ensuring that I have enough money in my checking account to pay my credit card bills, etc. Thus, usually around the beginning of every month, I like to go ahead and deduct my savings I put away as well as my monthly auto-with draws so I don’t forget about those items and not have sufficient funds to cover my dairy aire.
Case being I began the deduction process yesterday. (Note: I get paid bi-monthly, and I thought I already received my first paycheck for the month). When I finished deducting all the amounts, I ended up with $1.11. Yes, my jaw dropped.
No worries my friends, the shock does not end there. I immediately panicked. My first thought was, “How are you going to pay your credit card bills?” Second thought, “What on earth did you spend to leave yourself with only $1.11?” (Note: As mentioned above, I do allot a good chunk to savings. The amount in my checking account is my “for fun spending,” so no need to send me to classes on how to manage money).
Well, with only one dollar to spare, I decide to check the balance on my credit card to see how much over $1.11 I was. (I was hoping I would survive until my second paycheck was given to me).
I panicked yet again. I forgot I had already set it up so my credit card was automatically paid with my bank account (which I already accounted for in my check book balance). Naturally, the date that amount is withdrawn hadn’t occurred yet, so my current balance was ridiculously high.
I finally realized that and thought, “Well, at least your credit card bill is normal and you can cover those funds with your other bank account until you get paid.” The panick ended when I looked at my calendar. Payday is tomorrow, the 14th. I’m back in business.
I think that’s enough drama for the day.
