I Like Getting Bills

Thanks to Carnival of Personal Finance for posting me this week! My Open Wallet had some problems with Blogger, but she did a great job recovering and getting everything out on time!

I don't have much to say (and it's super late--I'm up watching a giant thunderstorm), but I wanted to divulge a funny realization I had as I was checking my mail today. At some point in the recent past, I began to actually ENJOY getting bills! I no longer have any sense of consternation with respect to doing my finances, in fact, I look forward to the 15th of every month, because when I get my paycheck, I'm that much closer to paying off my debt!

I don't know if I mentioned that I'm turning my book in at the end of August instead of my hoped-for July date. I was pushing too hard and froze up on the last week of the month. I had to take about ten days off to just veg. I just got back in the swing of things the last few days, and I'm back on track to completion. I REALLY have to get this done at the end of this month, because I'm starting classes in September, and I know my life will turn into a train wreck if I try to get the book finished AND do classwork. It's been hard for me to stay in shape and get the book done, but my mind is SERIOUSLY not working as well as it should, because I'm not doing as much, athletically. I need to get the blood flowing again, but as I'm sure many of you know, it just sucks to try and get a workout in when you're doing ten things at the same time.

Anyway, I'll let you go. I'm off to watch the lightning!
