Shared on Thu, 03/13/2008 - 08:38Some days I just really hate money. It runs everything....its all a lot of people think about....it causes an immense amount of stress if you don't have enough of it, and it can bring out the stupid in people relatively quickly.
With the cost of gas going up substantially, money for me right now is REALLY tight. Thankfully I'm not driving a huge truck or some other gas monster. But that doesn't mean that $31.50 a tank doesn't hurt. I get about 320 miles out of a tank....30 or so miles to the gallon. Give or take depending on how hot or cold it is. The bad thing is I don't really drive anywhere. Just to work & home...and on the weekends to see Julia. Jules lives about 20 or so miles away, so a standard round trip day is 80 miles total. Do that 2 days out of the weekend and thats half a tank of gas for me. Not pleasant. But its the only way I'll get to see her.
In other stuff: (this is where the stupid in me comes out involving money)....
I spent way too much money on games this past week. Picked up Army of Two for myself and Rock Band (just the game, not the box set) for Julia. Also won an ebay auction for a Limited Edition copy of Mass Effect...brand new for retail price. Keen! But in any case...that about $150+...Way too damn much. So now I'm paying for it.
Thankfully my tax return comes in next friday (hopefully sooner), and I can level my bank account back out again. I'm not in the negatives or anything...I just don't like going below a certain amount in my account for cautionary purposes.
The majority of my refund is gonna go into savings so I can find a better place and move in with Julia. But I'm gonna take a little bit of it and get a Wii and a couple of games for that...and an eliptical walker. Its the only exercise I really enjoy (besides DDR), but DDR hurts my knees right now since its so high impact. But once I lose some weight with the eliptical, I'll be able to start DDR again and that'll kick the fat off in a huge way. I've gotta start doing more because I'm waking up every morning feeling like hammered dog shit.. Its not fun. And I'm tired of it. Feeling so shitty when I get home that I sleep for an hour or so and wake up feeling weird and out of it.
I don't like that.
Anyway...thats it for now.
