Really nothing has been going on lately. Haven't been spending much time on the pc because of the not wanting to run it for too long/don't want it overheating issue. I have to take my car back up to the mechanic on Monday; turns out that the other day it was THREE QUARTS short of oil (and the guy had just done an oil change two weeks ago and we'd NEVER been that short of oil before; i.e. no prior leaks) AND my a/c isn't working again. We drove all the way out to Orlando without it. It's just blowing hot air. So I'm pissed because those were two things I just had fixed a couple weeks ago and now aren't working again. Dammit.
PayPal apparently settled out of court with some class-action lawsuit about improper proceedures and whatnot. If you're a PayPal user who signed up between October 1, 1999 and January 31, 2004, you can fill out the form appropriate to you and probably get some cash back from it. Go Here. The site isn't always coming up though because it's really overloaded at the moment, so if it doesn't work at first, keep trying. It's like when I got the $17 or whatever it was from the CD prices class action suit. Better in my pocket then theirs and hey, cash is cash, you know? :)
So all the dust settled and the bills cleared and somehow, yet again, we are painfully broke once again. I swear I thought we planned out the bills and weren't going to be in this mess. I thought we had finally gotten caught up. Turns out we haven't. And it's so damned frustrating. We didn't even spend any money at WDW - just a couple of burgers and an umbrella because we forgot to bring ours and it started pouring. I'm looking at the account and trying to figure it all out and where it all went. And of course, wondering as always how we're going to have enough money to get us through the next week. Next check is rent which means it takes up almost all of the check, so if we're low now (and we are, badly) then it won't get better and there won't be relief next week because rent needs paying. I'm just so sick of it being so damned hard. We barely limped through the last two weeks and now we're stuck in the middle of it again and will be next check as well. We can't catch up and can't even pay everything we need to pay. Where does it all go? It's not like we're out partying all the time, we barely ever leave the house, let alone do anything. *sighs* The bills are just overwhelming and we're drowning in it all. I don't know what to do.
So yeah. Same old, same old. Bummed, bored, broke. And the light at the end of the tunnel has been removed due to buget cuts.
