So the situation is this: Tomorrow I get to pay off the car repair bill from February which is one less bill that will come to the house...but usually what happens to me is that as soon as the car repair bills are paid, something else so well timed happens to the car...so I am keeping my fingers crossed that the lower milage on the car (thanks to the bus) will aid in keeping car maintenance bills lower this summer. I really want to dance a happy dance on this one (I have been snowflaking like MAD to it for weeks and weeks), but I just can't yet...maybe after I know it really is paid off and the car doesn't suddenly hiccup......I keep thinking Cousin Bernadette is going to do something to my car..................because........................

...........I get paid tomorrow, and I am on a bi-monthly plan instead of a bi-weekly plan for salary payment. That means that I do not get paid for another 20 days....and let me tell you that will take some planning and patience and sacrifice to get through, esp. since I am making a big payment to pay off the car repair bills which eats up a lot of the check, and then I have 3 weekends I have to get through (with a holiday) ... Cousin Bernadette is hyperventilating .... I know I will get though it, but it's a bummer.... It's going to take some planning. And really, I do have a ton of things to do that involve not spending money. I am so motivated to NOT use a credit card now unless it is an urgent thing.

Well, gotta pass Dear Cousin a paper bag to breathe into....
Maybe I'll happy dance a little later, too....Happy to not have to pay on the car repairs anymore! (doesn't seem real yet)
