So today was much more productive. I uncovered Jeanna's card table from the attic, brought my roses upstairs, and set myself up a nice little desk in my room. Lately I've been going a little nuts because I just feel so disorganized. I like knowing that my life is in some sort of order and the last week or so has been so busy that I haven't had time to keep up with stuff. It's particularly been bothering me that I no longer have any money coming in but I still have lots of stuff to buy and bills to pay before I leave. So the first order of business was getting all of my financial stuff in order. This didn't take as long as I thought it would and the good news is that I should be able to make it all work. I was rather surprised to figure out that even without living here and buying stuff and having the usual expenses it's still going to cost me about $7000 over the next two years. The majority of this is student loan payments that I'm going to try to keep making so I don't have to go thru the hassle of deferring them. I hate having debt. I also have some insurance payments and IRA contributions that it would be very easy to just stop for a couple years but I think down the line at some point I'll be glad I kept those up. So now I just need to cash in some savings and sell my car and I should be all set. Big weight off my shoulders. Then I just putzed around the rest of the day making lists of things I still need to do and buy and find out. Watched the season finale of Grey's Anatomy. Put all my addresses and phone numbers in this teeny tiny little address book to take with me. See? Productive. So now I'm going to go meet Anita for a drink or two to reward myself.
