Aubree didn't mean to. She was just trying to shove the logs back into the center without getting burned and they fell out onto the heart, I guess. She started screaming and it was quite large...as high as the mantel, engulfing Mom's fall garland. The scarecrow almost went up too. Man, I still have adrenaline running through my system. I'm wired.
As for the rest of the day, I came pretty close to cursing the state and contemplated how to put myself out of my misery. As of this evening, I--am--broke. Mom was on my finances again. Yes, I know it's needs paid, but I also had a phone bill that was due the 5th. I really needed to pay that first because I have no wish ta have my phone disconnected! (Qwest called me this morning wanting a payment.) But she insisted I pay a chunk of Medicaid tonight. So I am broke. Along with that, I was asked to pay a bit for gas. She was also talking about me getting a hair appt. next week, a dye job, a trim and styling. Uuummm, I'm not a money tree. I won't be able to now. I don't dare spend another dime. Money is evil. It's the highest, base motivator. Sheesh, even living nowadays nearly costs you an arm and a leg. It's aaalll about money.
You gotta live smart nowadays if you want to stay ahead and out of debt. From now on if I can't my bills totally, each one is going ta get some money each month until they're caught up. (Nan's suggestion.) And I will just tell Mom no if she asks for money other than rent, if I cannot give it. I will no longer worry about it if she cannot understand the simple fact I am not quite as rich as she thought. I'm gonna live smart. And start a savings account which earn me some interest. That should be a buffer then fer my checking account. And a base for my traveling dreams. I so want to take a cruise with the man I love...
