Sweet Catastrophe

I have to say I’m definitely a little down now. For the first time in a long time I’ve taken a considerable cut to my hours at work and now am beyond the ‘barely scraping by’ mark. This month has quite a few extra money-drainers and less money than normal to try to accommodate.

I’ve got my trip to Kristi’s for our concerts. I’m NOT dropping that. We may end up not going to see Matty, but we’ve already got our Andrew tickets and I’m just not missing that. I deserve to go and see Kristi and Andrew and be happy–but of course that’s a ton of gas money and meals while I’m gone so that really sucks.

Then not two weeks later we’ve got the wedding to go to. I need to buy a dress. I really don’t like what I wore to my brother’s wedding so I’d really like something different. I’ve also got to figure out what I want to wear for Halloween (their rehearsal is then) and buy what I need for that. I think I want to do something “Office” related. Not a character, but maybe like a jello mold with a stapler! Something silly like that.

Of course there’s meals, gas, and other expenses for that trip.

There are also Birthdays this month–important ones

I’m not sure what to do. I’m pushing for extra hours at work, but that’s really all I can do. I’m seriously considering selling off some of my DVDs but I really don’t want to do that. I really love my DVD collection, but I could probably get some decent money off some of my anime sets…that I have yet to watch so yeah…I dunno, we’ll see.

It’s times like these that a wine of the month club membership would seriously come in handy. I could use a glass or two to relax….or a whole bottle to drown my sorrows! haha
