Dim at the Moment

My financial future would look rather dim at the moment considering I do not have a computer at home which means my ability to work is limited. I have a well that is in need of repair or replacement not sure yet. It has been touchy for months and now it is either coming apart or it pumps up sand. We should know by this afternoon although at the moment it is not pumping. My main goal at the moment is to have running water and get back to work on a regular basis. This two hours here and there at the local library is not cutting it in the least. By the time I get what I need my session is over. I am typing as fast as I can and it is not fast enough.

My television set went to the pawnshop this week so my four year old could go to the local Peanut Festival on special citizens day and be a typical kid for a few hours. It is the little things like that which bother me the most. She should not be deprived because we are broke. I need to get back to work it has been two weeks since my computer tore up and no one seems to understand that without it I am unemployed and may not make it through the month.

I did set some goals however. I need $50 to reopen my savings account and I also need my t.v. out of hawk. The opening of the savings account comes with goals to put at least six months of expenses and the amount required to buy a replacement for my computer in the event this happens in the future. That way I simply go replace my main source of income and do not have to ask anyone for anything. I have decided to work on some books in my spare time provided I ever get spare time again. Well, I have to check and make sure I am still in the market to earn a living so I have to be going.

Closure

I’m beginning to bring closure to a lot a things and I began by closing my savings account. Poor account had a whole $1 in it to hold it open. I closed it because about a week or so ago I had added my soon to be ex to it in order to have his paychecks direct deposited. Then the bank would have been paid what he owes them and I would have gotten help to pay for the divorce. Due to circumstances he worked one day and they mailed his check out to him. It went to buy a new tire and some groceries. I’m driving his car but I’m not paying for the tire. I paid for the alternator and the battery over the summer that he had off and refused to drive the kid to therapy at all so I could work. His precious napping schedule would have been undone.

The leaving jobs because he got ill and going to lower paying jobs, two years of steady unemployment and overall laziness are what I’ve gotten. I do believe that I’ve put up with enough. The failure to do anything help or repair anything combined with the constant interruptions to keep me from making a living is more than I can stand. I have been examining my expenses and my needs however.

Theresa has a dozen or so supplements that have to be purchased so I need to get that list together. We have therapy five days a week, one of those days I have to pick her up from school. That brings in to question the cost of tires, oil changes, brakes etc for my vehicle that on a strange note I need to replace. I seem to have developed trouble driving it. So it’s time to look at trading it in. Hopefully without a car payment to take it’s place. At least I need some money to take down there when I do trade it.

I also have to pay for this divorce. I’m looking at my options and the various costs now. I know I have options I just have to find the state guidelines for divorce, I can’t find the phone number that I need for the life of me. It’s like it’s hiding because it knows I desperately want out of this marriage.

The light bill starts a new cycle of budget billing next month so I’ll know in a few weeks what that amount will be. Then I can figure in the other bills. I’m just hoping to pay six months of my auto insurance so I don’t have that bill every month. I have to find more work to do so I can reopen my savings account the day the papers are all final. Then I can move out of this place, hopefully within a month or two. The baby’s crib mattress has got to be replaced first however.
