Status Quo
Oct. 8th, 2008 02:50 pmI've been busy: First of all, I got an extension on that bill. Second, I've been getting caught up on my banking chores, IE, I've got my online banking up and running and I've started the process of getting that account verified by PayPal. Third, I contacted GK, who is giving me budget coaching. She set up a spreadsheet and asked me about my expenses and emailed me back saying, "You don't have as much money as you think you have." (The story of my life!)
Several blessed friends have offered assistance, which will enable me to get *that* bill paid as soon as PayPal finishes verifying everything. There will be overtime available at work beginning soon, and that'll help with the stuff that isn't in the budget, like saving for car repairs (God forbid!), lawncare, a little something for the collection plate....
So, at the moment, I'm NOT in panic mode, and thanks, everyone who commiserated and offered suggestions and help. You all are the greatest!
