tiamatladyInsert - If you haven't, please go here and look at my "I can't make a decision!" poll regarding nightstands.
Paypal has returned to me the funds that were on hold. Lesson learned - although it says DEBIT card, if I use it as such, I get bitchslapped. but, if I use it as a CREDIT card, it does what it's supposed to, which is remove the funds, and ONLY the funds, and gives me the cash back credit I "earn." Wow, 2 whole cents. *sighs* Now I have to remember the password, which I believe I do, and get me some cash. I was in a panic that I wouldn't be going anywhere tonight, and that's unacceptable. I don't like NOT being able to do what I want. *sighs* This whole money thing has got to stop - how the hell did I get behind, anyway? I was "up" last week. but, it was some of the purchases that went through PayPal, and HAD I had the funds that were wrongly held, I'd have been fine, cash wise. the sad thing is - As soon as I get paid, it's going right back out; I want those sheet sets, I want to put money aside, I want a lot of things, but there are bills to pay.
Last night's move went well, but is disturbing. I moved everything, found all the fabric I want to give to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
feline but there were FOUR boxes of videotapes *IYikes!* and I have no idea what's on at least 50% of them. But, the sheer amount of stuff that's LEFT! I have a giant stack of hardcovers, they are ALL on the list of "Get Rid Of." AND I'd like to stain my CD storage unit while I'm all about the staining, which means my 500+ CDs need somewhere to lay their heads while I'm doing it. BAH I have so much STUFF!
To top it all off, I just have to work WAY too much, on my "days off." Because, let's face it, I don't want this to be JUST paint my room.awfief was nice enough to switch our monthly meeting to Monday, so now I can go to Haven free and clear on Tuesday. I then remembered I have a dentist appointment Tuesday morning, which I REALLY need to keep this time. Money I DON'T want to spend, but need to. And then, I need to make an appointment with Saturn, to get some work done, after I call them and get an estimate. My brakes are making funny noises, and they're "sticky" and it's NOT the rears, which were just redone, it's the front, which NEEDS to be done. Plus the muffler, I'd like to do that before it becomes a problem, I've already put it off a year and a half. But, this is ALL after paying bills, and picking up necessities. *sighs*
The room painting idea has me daunted. it took me hours of pussyfooting to get half the BOOKCASES cleared, and I haven't even touched the rest of the room. One bookcase is STILL FULL of books, most of them textbooks. I don't want to pack them in boxes, tho. My mother's room is looking pretty full, which is depressing. It's all stuff I haven't used, yet feel the "need" for. All of this, I'm just having problems getting RID of it. AND, then there's the work of the painting. I can see me up tting in LONG hours doing this. because, I keep losing my time off, to other clients. YARGH!
Ok, seriously, this is boring, and I can't do anything about it now anyway. I have to be off to work, after a shower, it's kinda yukky humid this morning, and I'm all icky. I have to stop by an ATM for cash *YAY* so I can grab lunch on the way to work. Oh WAIT, today is Lunch on Boss day!

Date: 2003-08-27 08:25 am (UTC)I might just do it!
Except getting THIS week has been "hairy" at best.
And I'm not even getting what I want, anyway. I wanted to have the room painted while my mother was out of town, and she'll be IN town over the weekend, you watch, she'll walk in, in the middle, and start screaming.
I just can't throw stuff out, so I think while I'm putting things back, I'm going to start bags of "Goodwill, or bust." SOme of the books HAVE to go that route - don't ask me how I got the Bill Cosby biography, but I have it, and I don't WANT it and I doubt I could give it away!
