It has been two weeks since my computer tore up. I have it
back temporarily at the moment and am able to work. In fact I began the process
of lowering bills already. My mother has had it for two weeks and finally said
it was working well enough that I can use it. It is humming but it connects to
the Internet and it stays on. I have to make up for the last two weeks and if I
am online I find myself easily distracted so I decided to work offline while I
catch up.
I even lowered my Internet bill for the time being. My
mother purchased some groceries and gave me some money since I had been out of
work and did not have a payday this past week. I put the groceries away
figuring that we could make them last a few weeks and then I began the
budgeting of the money that she gave me. First thing was to get my television
out of the pawnshop, $62.50. (My youngest had been promised the Peanut Festival
on Special Citizens Day)
She had a blast dragging me on rides that made me feel older
than I realized I was as I got dizzy every time. Her father (my soon to be ex)
watched and laughed the whole time. She ended up with a $5 frog when the man
held the balloon so that she could just pop it with the dart. Somehow I we
missed lunch because I was tired and dizzy causing us to sit down and lose
track of time. Oh well.
I also invested in a portable Internet device and purchased
one GB of Internet for $20. I figure that I can use that much easily and get a
lot of work posted while I wait for mother to pick my computer back up to finish
fixing it. My keys are sticking but I saw a keyboard for $10 that would be
easier for me to use than the flat keyboard that is on it. There is an option
for $10 Internet that would have me spending approximately $40 a month, $50 a
month would get me unlimited access but I can not afford that right now. I
spent more than I should on the device but I had to get back to work.
It took almost $60 to fill the tank on my Rodeo to get us
back and forth for hopefully the next two weeks. I changed my phone to 20 cents
a minute and placed $10 on it to use in an emergency. It was better than
leaving it off I just had to disable incoming text messages to make it work. I
don’t have to pay the bill again until the 8th of February so let’s hope
I can stretch that $10 out some to make it easier for a while.
I refigured my basic expenses and I have a better
understanding of what I need to do. That is a post for another day. I have to
get back to work ASAP. I’m running back and forth from the housework to the
keyboard to make sure I don’t get bored sitting in one spot.It has been two weeks since my computer tore up. I have it
