Well, I thought I was calming down with all the debt junk going on today, and then in the space of 3 minutes I got all kinds of bad news in the mail, but "fortunately" none of it concerned my debt. So I am still sitting here with my hair on fire, but at least I know I won't be SPENDING this weekend (except for getting my hair done, but I guess I have to get it done...it is maintenance....but if my hair keeps combusting from stress then I may not have any hair left to do!!!). Yet again, I have major housecleaning to do again by a deadline.....this never seems to end....long story for another day. I'm cleaning not shopping. spending, snowflaking, whatever...........................
This has just been such a STRESSFUL week, and most of it is due to cirumstances beyond my control. I rewarded myself with a trip out to my favorite coffee shop this evening, but when I ordered the soup as my dinner, it was more like chicken sludge than soup. Money wasted. UGH.
I got a nasty letter in the mail out of the blue from someone I was best friends with for years yesterday. She did something that was very hurtful to me several months ago, and I ended the friendship because she was potentially damaging to my career and professional reputation. Why she suddenly got involved in my job situation I will never know, but there was a jealousy between the lines of my perceived financial situation (but she has no idea about my debt), and so I think she wanted to bring me down somehow. She saw me at a concert and was mad because I didn't talk to her there (I have moved on.), so she decided to write me a letter and tell me how awful I was. Whatever. What I thought was weird is that she had to bring up my percieved financial status in her written rant. She has always had a tough time with money no matter how much she made, and she makes more than me. She spends every cent and gets loans for more. She always has the top of the line, all the upgrades and features...I have bare bones for cable, internet, phone, for example, but I guess I am living within my budget for those items ,and it is just fine for me. Well, whatever.....I'm not answering her letter. I'll read it one more time for the amusement value and then it's shredder food. But really, I am very protective of my job and professional reputation. I gotta eat, I gotta work, and no one should get in the way of that.
So another summer weekend sort of wasted on housecleaning and stressing out on stupid things. I'll rant later about other related topics.

Sheesh Littles - sorry to hear about the letter.
All my best,
