Too wild up here now. Need to change to typing tasks only.

Progress!
Cold calls to real estate companies begun. So far, it hasn’t been the horrid experience I expected it to be!

Bank went negative on Friday while I sat on a $75 insurance check. Immediately incurred $5 (transfer fee from overdraft) + $12 (continuous overdraft fee for Sat and Sun) + $6 (continuous overdraft fee for yesterday) totaling $23 in fees so far.
No foreseeable income in the near future. The projects I have won’t pay by Friday. Immediate expenses:
Power company $550 by Friday or they shut us off
Car insurance overdue $120 (in our state I think the penalty for driving without insurance is that you lose your license for a year…which just means we end up with a bunch of unlicensed and uninsured people driving around)
Telephone by Friday $140
Garbage service $90
One company threatening lawsuit to collect $600-1000
There are others but this is depressing. How does anyone ever get out from a situation like this? I know. I know. Get a job. Damn it’s said that done!
This is obviously all my fault and all within my control but at same time it is so overwhelming and overpowering.
Back to coding.

From the President’s mouth
Bush also said high taxes on the rich are a failed strategy because “the really rich people figure out how to dodge taxes anyway.”

This Morning
I want cameras in my house!
Woke this morning at 6am and walked the dog. Of course she eventually got bored and started to yip so I brought her inside with intent to take her right back out. Instead I got to brewing my coffee and she made her a breakfast snack. Fortunately I stopped her before she chowed down too much. After I get a paycheck from somewhere I’m going to lease her for 3 days and she is going to remain by my side until she learns that stuff goes outside!
I had intended to have a snack with the wife and when she started to drift off I was going to work through the nite. Blast if I didn’t fall asleep! At least I woke earlier than usual.
