I am pooped. I have been working a lot which is great but I am in desperate need of a full pajama day. I did make enough money to pay off 90% of one my credit cards which is a bit of a relief. But, it's a struggle to get ahead financially. My plan, after I pay off all of my debt, is to:
#1 Get a haircut!
#2 Buy a fully 100% water proof rain coat.
#3 Get a chewable umbrella for dog-walking (My nice umbrella has Yardin's teeth marks on it...)
#4 Buy Advil.
#5 Get some extra hiking socks.
#6 Buy a new pair of summer shorts.
I really can't wait but I must. If there are no major disasters I may be debt free by the end of next month. The problem is not having any sort of back-up. Little Car's maintenance was over $700 again for the breaks and other minor stuff. And then another $500+ for the wheel bearing. LC does sound good as new, but if anything else goes I am totally f$%@!). The old New Yorker was a total money pit so I am worried that could happen since Little Car is now almost 10 years old. The good thing is that it's not a Chrysler, the bad thing is I still can't afford it.
Anyways, on another note, my business has gone to the dogs. Literally. I am happy to say I have 2 cat customers next week which I am looking forward to. And, then when I come home to Hal I am so thankful I don't have a dog to worry about. I have to admit I have had moments of just being sick of dogs, which really shocked me, and I have hoped that I would get an easy animal like a gecko or something. When I am with the dogs I really enjoy them, unless they are bad which does happen occasionally. But, it's really exhausting and I am really impressed with the dog owners who walk their dogs rain or shine. The main problem is the lack of a proper rain coat and a worsening ankle problem - neither of which is really dog-related. Anyways, it's pouring again today and I have a full dog day once again so I just need to suck it up.
Oh, and I also have not done my taxes yet. Please don't tell my Mom. I am hoping that maybe today - when the dogs are napping but I won't be able to finish till maybe tomorrow. It's really down to the crunch this year. I believe though, as long as I don't owe money, there is some leeway - but if I'm wrong don't tell me. I don't want to know for sure - I am happy to be in the dark about this. I will try to complete it in time.
