Thanks to various things I've purchased in the past six weeks (supplements from Dr. Khosh, a chiropractic session, a quarter of a cow, yoga membership, a pair of shoes I probably shouldn't have purchased but they're clearance-ing out this line of Doc Marten's and they fit me so well), I am pretty broke. Due to some annual bills and a couple Chevelle parts purchases, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mckitterick isn't exactly flush at the moment, either.
Wednesday I got a call from Parker Farms that my half-hog is butchered and ready for pick-up. I'd kind of forgotten I ordered a hog, but even so, I thought they said March before it would be ready. So there's another $200(ish) for the meat and processing fee. Oh, and add the cost of the gas it'll cost to get to Independence to pick up the meat. Not to mention how/when in the hell I'm going to be able to get it since the Crossfire is put away until the snow melts and the Saab isn't safe over 45mph thanks to a broken shock.
This morning I opened the washing machine door (we have a front-loader) and water started pouring out. I got towels down and managed to soak up most of what spilled out, then spent a long time bailing water (about six gallons) out of the washer. So it looks like we probably need a major repair to the washer, if not a new washer entirely. Luckily, the drier has been acting wonky for the past couple years, too, so hey.
Granted, this isn't the end of the world. I still have a teensy bit in my savings account. I shouldn't even have to carry a balance on this month's credit card bill if I pull half of what remains from savings to pay it off. But shit, man. Those shoes and two Qwertee tee shirts are the only impulse purchases I've made since fucking December. I don't count the multiple zill purchases 'cosmckitterick claimed those as a birthday present for me. Thanks, honey.
I knew when I made the financial commitment to my health that I wouldn't have a lot of disposable income anymore. The truth of that is just now becoming real to me.
March is a three-paycheck month. March is a three-paycheck month. March is a three-paycheck month.
